Project Update

Following Community Consultation, all submissions were brought back to the 17 July Council Meeting where Council endorsed consent to a new 5 + 5 year Lease to the Port Milang Historic Railway Museum over a portion of land located at Milang Road, Milang (specifically on the corner of Lyon Street and Marroo Street).


Council is considering a 10 year Lease Agreement with the Port Milang Historic Railway Museum Inc, over a portion of land located at Milang Road, Milang (specifically on the corner of Lyon Street and Marroo Street). You can view the proposed Lease Area here.

The Port Milang Historic Railway Museum are requesting to Lease approximately 5 acres of the land for storage, construction, and restoration purposes to support the work on their existing site at 5 Daranda Terrace, Milang where they currently operate a Historic Railway Museum with interactive exhibits, craft shop and Cafeteria Car . Currently, a portion of the land is occupied by the Milang Environmental Centre under a Lease with Council and the balance relatively undeveloped which will remain open to the public.


If successful in obtaining a Lease, the group wish to install a 6.1m x 9.1m storage shed (subject to Development Approval). The proposed Lease area includes a vegetation corridor along the eastern and southern boundary, which would be retained and protected within lease conditions.

The proposed annual rental fee is peppercorn ($1.00) per annum, as there would be no sales or commercial occupation of the site and all goods, improvements and activities that occur on the site would remain the ownership and responsibility of the Port Milang Historic Railway Museum.
