Wodonga's Junction Place hotel and townhouses begin construction in 2027

Wodonga's Junction Place will add an eight-storey hotel and 86 townhouses starting construction in 2027.

An architect behind Wodonga's Junction Place is addressing community concerns. People wonder if this major project will really happen.

The $30 million plan includes 86 townhouses on Smith Street and an eight-storey international hotel. Existing hospitality venues like The Goods Shed and Gum Tree Pies will remain untouched.

Townhouse construction begins early 2027, with the hotel to follow. Community backlash has largely focused on the loss of a grassed area.

But architects say the completed space will have green areas throughout. The single developer, Birchmore Group, says one owner makes it more likely to finish.

Past projects in the area have failed before.
