The Wodonga Golf Course has been identified by the Victorian government’s “Unlocking Strategic Sites” housing program as a potential location for future residential development, despite claims no Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) officials had visited the site. The proposal has sparked backlash from residents, golfers and local leaders who argue the course is a major community and recreational asset. Community petitions opposing any rezoning say reducing the course would threaten its long-term viability and permanently remove important green space from the border city.
