A distinctive art & environment precinct in the
foothills of Gariwerd/Grampians National Park
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.
Bringing our vision to life
The WAMA Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation funded by the Victorian Government’s Regional Tourism Investment Fund, private philanthropy and donations.
Support this exciting creative and environmental project with a donation that directly contributes to WAMA’s ongoing developments.
Our momentum has come from WAMA’s invaluable volunteers supporting early community events, working bees and workshops, all the while planning for the project was underway.
In recent years, we’ve proudly ticked off some major milestones: we planted our endemic garden, revegetated our grasslands and – thanks to the Regional Tourism Infrastructure Fund – built the National Centre for Environmental Art.
We’ve come far and we’re now ready to step into WAMA’s next chapter—opening to the public in 2025!
