The town of Bogong, is located between Mt Beauty and Falls Creek in the alpine region of NE Victoria.

It was established in the 1940s for workers on the Kiewa Hydro scheme, and is a lease on crown land within the NP. The current leaseholders - AGL - do not want to operate the village anymore, and are looking for innovative ideas. The community want to have a say and a voice in the future of this town and see the best outcome for the region. We will be engaging, listening and provoking discussion with all of these parties through design and analysis.
