About the Discovery Hub

The Transgrid Discovery Hub is a first of its kind for Transgrid, offering a consistent and accessible point of connection with the Wagga community, landowners, and businesses in the surrounding areas. Located at 27 Kincaid St, Wagga Wagga, this innovative shopfront provides visitors with an inviting, space to engage with Transgrid and access information about our energy vision, major projects, operations, and community-based activities, all tailored to highlight the crucial role Wagga Wagga plays in the energy transition, and the opportunities this presents for the community.

This Hub provides the community with a one-stop-shop for an integrated view of Transgrid’s activities within the region, ensuring a seamless experience for all enquiries through our ‘no wrong door’ approach. 

We are proud to announce that the design and development of the building were undertaken by local Wagga business using 100% locally sourced materials and services.

Beyond its role as a shopfront the Hub serves as a community space for engaging with major projects and Transgrid’s energy vision.  

  • A Discovery space, designed for community members and schools to explore the key concepts surrounding energy, engineering, and environment. We are currently collaborating with education professionals to design a program that supports in class learning for secondary students.
  • A community share space, providing partners with a space to communicate with visitors, facilitate workshops, and hold community meetings.  To reserve a space in the Hub for your event, please contact discovery.hub@transgrid.com.au

The winners of our 2025 Discovery Challenge

We’re excited to announce Mater Dei Catholic College as the winners of our Discovery Challenge!

Students Miley and Holly impressed us with their creative experiment concept, “One Big Thing” — a scavenger hunt-style science experience that explores geology, ecology, physics and more.

As part of their prize, Mater Dei will receive $2,500 to support STEM learning through equipment or experiences and the students will receive a prize pack valued at $200 each. We’re working with the school to bring their experiment to life and celebrate their achievement.

Stay tuned for updates as we help turn “One Big Thing” into a real-world learning adventure!



What is the Discovery Challenge?

The Discovery Challenge is an exciting school competition available to primary and secondary schools across NSW & ACT, giving students the opportunity to get their creative and innovative ideas to shine!

The challenge invites students to design and present an 'Experiment Pack' that investigates an energy, engineering or environment-based question.

The winning teams will have their Experiment Pack concept brought to life and allow the experiment to be recreated at Transgrid's Discovery Hub and beyond!

What is an Experiment Pack?

An Experiment Pack is a comprehensive kit designed to help students investigate an energy, engineering or environment-based research question. The pack includes everything needed to conduct a scientific experiment, including a research title, hypothesis, materials list, method, safety considerations and finding and observations.
