On 21 June 2023 the community, local businesses, and local and state government representatives came together to explore the identified opportunity.
Working Group Meetings
Noojee Eco-Community Working Group has finished this stage
Following the results of the feasibility study, it was decided to combine the two working groups, Eco Tourism Working Group and Multipurpose Community Hub and Education Centre Working Group, to focus on two key initiatives as a result of the study.
On 15 June 2025, the two combined working groups voted to change the name to the Noojee Eco-Community Working Group. Going forward, the group will be focusing on the potential for the Noojee Primary School Site and investigate options for the Noojee Heritage Railway Centre Precinct.
Current Projects
Noojee Eco-Community Working Group is currently at this stage
The masterplan design for the heritage precinct is currently underway with Architecture That engaged to create the final design following the community consultation period. The design is likely to be finalised mid to late October 2025.
The group recently voted to be part of a tracks and trail project with the Upper Yarra Local Development Strategy, specifically looking at the Warburton to Walhalla trail positing Noojee as a key point along the route, whether a rest stop, starting point or overnight stay.
