The creation of a Community Asset Committee is proposed for ongoing management of the Station Precinct Museum and Railway Station buildings. Community Asset Committees provide a robust model for managing Council-owned assets where there are multiple partners involved and where there is a strong degree of community ownership.

The role of this Community Asset Committee is to manage and coordinate the use of the Mansfield Station Precinct Museum Complex, encompassing the Railway Carriages, Railway Station Buildings and Platform area, Heritage Museum and Gadhaba Gathering Place.

The Community Asset Committee does not include the Goods Shed and the Visitor Information Centre. The communal area between the assets will be a shared area and use of the space should suit all precinct stakeholders, with any events held in this space meeting Council’s local laws requirements.

The membership of the Committee is proposed to include representatives from:

  • Mansfield Shire Council (Committee Chair)
  • Mansfield Historical Society
  • Taungurung Land and Waters Council
  • Community
