The substation is an iconic building of Melbourne’s west. If you’ve ever tracked by rail through Newport, you’ve seen it.
When I was growing up, it was derelict and home to many homeless and winos. And of course the fascination to kids all around. All the «cool kids» would break in to throw rocks at the window, or so my cool older sister would tell me. I was too busy at trombone practice.
Newly renovated to resemble a New York loft, the substation is opened for business. Ideal for many functions, current uses are performances, art shows and markets. I do believe they can host wedding, though I’m not sure they have kitchen facilities.
All in all, it’s a modern building with multiple uses. The only (major) downfall is there is no aircon. Meaning during summer it can and does get extremely hot. And for that reason, it’s 3, not 4 stars.
