All Ideas Aboard: Donald’s Tramsformation
Publish date: 20 January 2025
Thanks to the efforts of Donald 2000, the tram has been transported, craned into place, and is now set for a creative makeover.
Although trams may not have a direct link to Donald, this unique addition ties our community to a piece of history, providing visitors and locals with a rare chance to see this type of tram outside metropolitan and regional hubs like Bendigo and Ballarat.
The tram will eventually be transformed into a community space at the railway precinct, giving the community another destination to gather, celebrate, and connect.
To kickstart the transformation, Donald 2000, is offering the community a picnic style evening supper at the tram, where you can hop aboard and take a look inside, share ideas, and discuss how to make the tram and surrounding area a hub for locals and tourists.
“It’s a chance to come together, rebuild connections, and brainstorm how small projects like this can inspire and unite the community,” said Kerry Duncan, project co-ordinator
“Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this exciting chapter for Donald.”
A picnic style dinner is provided with support from the Buloke Shire Council's Community Recovery Hubs Program, funded by the Australian and State Governments.
“Our community knows what it needs, and this program, born from the October 2022 flood event, has been supporting community projects like this,” said Buloke Shire Council Mayor Cr Alan Getley.
“As the program nears its conclusion, we recognise its vital role in helping the community recover—a journey that takes time,” he added.
