Junction Place
Junction Place is a new public heart in central Wodonga. Located on the site of the former Wodonga Rail Station, the three key public spaces that comprise Junction Place support a mix of retail, entertainment, commercial and residential developments.
These spaces are linked and follow the alignment of the former railway line. Richardson Park is an open and informal park for locals and visitors to relax in the centre of the Junction Place development. The Promenade creates a new east-west pedestrian link between the historic Station Building to the south, Goods Shed to the north, Urban Square to the east, and Richardson Park to the west. The Urban Square is a new central meeting place that connects to Wodonga’s existing Central Business Area and High Street’s established commercial and retail precinct.
