Construction is now underway on the new Logic Innovation Precinct in Wodonga, a state-of-the-art facility that will play a vital role in supporting and future-proofing the manufacturing, logistics and transport sectors across the broader Murray region.
The precinct will house two key developments: a purpose-built Heavy Vehicle Technology Program and the first stage of an Advanced Manufacturing Centre of Excellence. Together, these facilities will strengthen regional capability, equip workers with cutting-edge skills, and foster collaboration across industries.
Features of the precinct include a heavy vehicle technology workshop, four-wheel-drive obstacle course, and a dedicated space for advanced manufacturing innovation, including robotics, automation, and 3D printing. Once complete, the precinct will support hands-on training and industry upskilling—creating real-world pathways into high-demand roles.
The facility is expected to welcome up to 1,200 students over its first four years, enabling Wodonga TAFE to expand its heavy vehicle and advanced manufacturing programs. It will also enhance the region’s training capacity for key sectors including defence, emergency services, and education.
Beyond training delivery, this investment aligns with broader regional aims to build a future-ready workforce, attract industry investment, and diversify the local economy. The precinct is one of several strategic projects under the Albury Wodonga Regional Projects initiative and will contribute to long-term regional resilience and prosperity.
Wodonga TAFE has appointed Joss Construction to deliver the main construction works.
Why is this crucial for our region?
Manufacturing plays a critical role in the economic health of regional communities, providing stable, high-value employment and supporting a wide network of local suppliers, trades and service providers. In areas like the Murray region, manufacturing also underpins other key industries such as agriculture, construction and transport, forming an essential part of the regional value chain.
As technology evolves, so too does the nature of manufacturing. Automation, digital tools and advanced production techniques are reshaping the sector, creating opportunities for innovation, export growth and new skill pathways. For regional areas, staying competitive in this landscape means investing in both infrastructure and talent, ensuring that businesses have access to modern facilities and a workforce equipped for tomorrow’s challenges.
Projects like the Logic Innovation Precinct directly respond to this need, strengthening the region’s capacity to train and retain skilled workers, support local industry growth, and attract new investment. With the right foundation, manufacturing can continue to be a powerful driver of regional prosperity, contributing to long-term resilience, economic diversification and thriving communities across the Murray and beyond.
