New arrivals discover a warm welcome, a thriving arts scene, gorgeous natural surroundings, a strong sense of community and a growing confidence that Wonthaggi is a very special place. The State Government has earmarked Wonthaggi as a regional centre ripe for rapid urban growth, A $115 million expansion of Wonthaggi Hospital is underway; Wonthaggi Secondary College has just moved to a new campus and planning has started for a cultural precinct on the old school site, in the centre of town.
The construction boom and an increase in well-paid professional jobs in the area is already affecting the local economy, educational resources and housing stock.
