Mornington Tourist Railway volunteers explain their project to restore historic car 7CV – a VicTrack-owned asset that will be put into service on the railway’s tourist train rides.
As the custodial owner of Victoria's rail assets, we lease our land and buildings to community groups in Victoria, so that they find new life as open spaces, art galleries, museums, libraries, creative spaces, and community hubs.
Revitalising these spaces help support community groups to thrive.
