New in West Wodonga? Start here
Everything a new arrival actually asks in the first month, answered from the 197 businesses, clubs and places we list here. No sponsored entries, nothing paid for.
First, the thing people get wrong
West Wodonga sits between Melrose Drive and the Hume Freeway, and holds a lot of the newer housing built since the 1990s. Wodonga TAFE, the Wodonga Plaza end of town and the industrial land off Osburn Street are all close by. It is mostly detached housing on quarter acre blocks, so fencing, decking and split system work are steady jobs.
West Wodonga is in Victoria, postcode 3690, and 6 of the towns people here use day to day are in New South Wales. That is why this matters more in West Wodonga than it does most places: the state a job is done in decides which trade licence applies, which public holiday calendar sets the penalty rate, and which regulator hears a complaint.
If you are hiring anyone, the border check tells you which state's rules apply to an address, and the licence check opens the right register.
The shape of the place
West Wodonga runs on Wodonga for anything it does not have itself, and the drive is about 3 kilometres. These are the facts that decide who you ring and where you go, rather than the ones a tourism page leads with.

Before you pay a deposit. Ask which licence they are working under
for your job and check it. It takes a minute on the
licence check, and on this border the
licence that counts is the one for the state the work is in, not the state the
business is registered in.
