WAMA

Located on the lands of the Djab Wurrung and Jardwadjali people, WAMA honours the Traditional Custodians’ deep cultural ties and ongoing care for Gariwerd’s diverse and unique environment. 

Stage One has seen the creation of The National Centre for Environmental Art—a world-class, climate-controlled art gallery and café—along with the development of native grasslands and an Endemic Botanic Garden. This stage is set to conclude with our official opening to the public in 2025.

For Stage Two, we’ll transform our 16-hectare site further with extensive landscaping and planting, boardwalks, bird hides, a nature play zone, wildlife encounters, and a sculpture trail—all enhancing the existing bushland and ephemeral wetlands.
