Victorian Tunnelling Centre site tour and technical insight (Mining aspects)

Join the Melbourne Branch for their Victorian Tunnelling Centre site tour and technical insight event.

About this event

Join us for a unique opportunity to explore the Victorian Tunnelling Centre (VTC) — Australia’s first tunnelling training facility. The event will include a guided tour of the state-of-the-art facility, showcasing full-scale tunnel replicas, immersive VR training, and infrastructure designed to simulate real-world tunnelling operations.

Attendees will hear from Dr Ross Digby, Associate Director of the Centre for Energy and Infrastructure, who will provide insights into the development of the VTC, the education and workforce strategy supporting major Victorian infrastructure projects, and the role of vocational training in shaping the future tunnelling workforce.

This is a rare behind-the-scenes experience not to be missed by professionals interested in tunnelling, infrastructure, training, and future workforce development.
