Ideal? Every single town so I never have to think about it!

Caught this on social media in Mildura right near The Gateway and Dan Murphy's this week. Sure looks like the footings for a new supercharger location (edit: it was posted this week).
Cross check the video and the plugshare entry, the address in plugshare seems correct
825A Fifteenth St, Mildura VIC 3500
South corner of Dan Murphys carpark
edit: the location from Tesla Supercharger map is really accurate.

Might await confirmation before adding to supercharge.info though, after being tricked by the Windsor Qld site!

That’s official 
(Edit: Although I am surprised it's only 4 stalls.)

I bet it was. The speculation started before it appeared on the voting! (See first post of thread). A waste of time for everyone, it just benefits Tesla as they get to say "look, we put one here because we listen to our customers!"

V3 stall design, a little disappointing, but they are positioned in the centre of the parking spaces, so an easy upgrade to the V4 dispenser. Only 4 stalls?
Good location near the Gateway and a short stroll to GyG, Ampol and the 24/7 BP/OTR.
Now on with the rest of the Melbourne-Mildura and Adelaide-Sydney routes!

No DA required. Conversion of existing spaces to EV charging is an exempt development.
Given it is also only 4 stalls with one v3 cabinet there may likely have also been sparse capacity so possibly also no high voltage transformer approval was required from energy distributor.
It is possible it was all done in 2.5 months. Though I am also still skeptical. I also wonder whether the voting sites are just a better coming soon source of information from Tesla. Particularly the non-urban sites.
There's probably an element of regional councils seeing that their little town was mentioned by Tesla as a site winner, kind of "prestigious" for want of a better word, and not something that they want to be seen to be blocking.

The local rag thought it news worthy at the time of winning the vote,
Mildura wins vote for new Tesla Supercharger
MILDURA is the lone Australian location to receive a Tesla Supercharger as the result of the company's latest quarterly worldwide poll.

I guess you did say stroll, 24/7 OTR around 500m away. The Hungry Jacks there is also 24hrs and only 100m away which should at least cover a toilet break.
So pumped for this. As mentioned earlier I head up to Mildura weekly. So sick of relying on 50kw chargers for long distances. Makes an already long drive longer and a large charge up for the return leg very time consuming.
From Bendigo to Mildura I was able to make it comfortably in normal weather conditions with about 5% remaining in one go from 100% in my previous 3LR. It's a bit more touch and go with the Y LR and I've been stopping at the Ouyen charger for a 5% top up and quick toilet break. Haven't given it the full send yet. Same on the way back. Been hitting Inglewood for a 5% bump.
Those single CCS chargers are getting very busy now, even at odd times like late at night/midnight. Gone are the days I could pretty much be sure I could roll into them and not wait.
Sure hope sea lake is on the plans as it's halfway between Bendigo and Mildura. Another charger in Bendigo would be good actually on the Calder as it's a massive detour off the highway for anyone travelling up and through from Melbourne.

Definitely agree. The old v2's in Bendigo are often busy as well, so another site closer to the Calder makes a lot of sense. Ballarat got the Lucas site, so I guess there is hope of something similar happening in Bendigo.
Or even maybe a new site in Kyneton would allow skipping Bendigo all together to get to a theoretical Sea Lake/Wycheproof site. All depends on where you are coming from I guess.
