The multiuse amenity facility in Mulga Car Park is now complete.
Here you’ll find a Changing Places toilet which allows people with disability and high support needs access to dedicated, suitable and safe public facilities. For more information about changing places and eligibility for access to keys, click here.
The facility also includes bike end-of-trip change and toilets, repair station, E-bike charging, lockable bike storage, a water refill point as well as tube vending machine.
There is existing lighting in the Mulga car park and the designs include additional security lighting in and around the facility.
This project aims to increase active transport opportunities for Wodonga residents through the provision of cycle supporting infrastructure. The facility will also allow council to promote and enhance bike friendly and cycle tourism opportunities for the city and the surrounding communities.
The facility design incorporates environmentally sustainable development and universal design principles. The project was constructed utilising the latest building materials, innovations, and management processes.
The Mulga Car Park site is conveniently located in Wodonga’s CBD, provides a safe and secure environment with good visual surveillance, is easy to find and close to or connected to Wodonga's shared pathway networks.
Background
The project came about from the allocation of $150,000 from Hyphen to the Wodonga Planning Scheme parking overlay, which collects funds to be utilised for, or in association with, cycle-friendly infrastructure (including end-of-trip facilities) as described at Figure 4 in the council’s adopted Wodonga Central Business Area Car Parking Plan 2018.
The remaining project budget is made up of funding; $90,000 Department of Transport Cycle infrastructure Fund and $143,530 Victorian Government’s Changing Places Program Funding Round 2022.
