The Transgrid Discovery Hub is a first of its kind for Transgrid, offering a consistent and accessible point of connection with the Wagga community, landowners, and businesses in the surrounding areas. This innovative shopfront provides visitors with an inviting, space to engage with Transgrid and access information about our energy vision, major projects, operations, and community-based activities, all tailored to highlight the crucial role Wagga Wagga plays in the energy transition, and the opportunities this presents for the community.

This Hub provides the community with a one-stop-shop for an integrated view of Transgrid’s activities within the region, ensuring a seamless experience for all enquiries through our ‘no wrong door’ approach. 

We are proud to announce that the design and development of the building were undertaken by local Wagga business using 100% locally sourced materials and services.

Beyond its role as a shopfront the Hub serves as a community space for engaging with major projects and Transgrid’s energy vision.  

• A Discovery space, designed for community members and schools to explore the key concepts surrounding energy, engineering, and environment. We are currently collaborating with education professionals to design a program that supports in class learning for secondary students.
• A community share space, providing partners with a space to communicate with visitors, facilitate workshops, and hold community meetings.  To reserve a space in the Hub for your event, please contact discovery.hub@transgrid.com.au

What is a Discovery Pod?

What is the Discovery Pod Challenge?

The Discovery Pod Challenge is an exciting school competition available to primary and secondary schools in the Riverina and South-West Slopes, giving students the opportunity to get their creative and innovative ideas to shine! The purpose of the challenge is to explore concepts around the key themes of Energy, Engineering and Environment through the design and presentation of a 'discovery pod' concept. The winning submission brought to life and on display at the Discovery Hub in Wagga Wagga.

In 2023, Mater Dei Catholic College lit up the competition with their standout submission, Energy the Game. Their adventure included hands-on coding workshops with a local game designer, and now, Energy the Game continues to energise the community in the Discovery Hub with over 1000 people playing the games in the last six months!
