Not only is it on the way to Sydney, but you need to use it if you are driving up to the ski fields. Especially if you are going to Mt Buller, because most people will have to park in the lower car parks, and there is no charing infrastructure there. Really need to be changed over pronto.
Is there one on both sides of the road, or is it only at the service station southbound?

Only one site. I agree, it has been up a long time for a "temporary" SC.
Are there any major developments proposed at Seymour or Euroa? They could be planning the permanent SC to be built as part of a new highway service centre of some sort.

I can't see any evidence of that? For the last month or two, all 2017 proposed sites are shown in grey on the map.

Hopefully they leave the sled at the Servo then for those of use who don't want to sit in their car in darkness at 3am. Honestly, I know many disagree, but plenty of Teslas Supercharge locations are not 24/7 freindly. All the new ones in the UK are all at Service Centres.

Stopped here yesterday. They really need to either make the charging cables longer or place the car spots (redraw the lines) closer to the charger.

Yes the A charger cable is too short and you can only connect of you don't back the car all the way into the spot.Stopped here yesterday. They really need to either make the charging cables longer or place the car spots (redraw the lines) closer to the charger.
Good find @One Gear

I've sent them a PM on Facebook to confirm which car park they are going in to. @One Gear , I assume you were nowhere near Kirkland Avenue?

Also, I would find it unlikely they'd keep the sled at the servo. If the servo was really keen to keep the SCs there they may put in two permanent ones, but I expect Tesla would want to retrieve the sled for future emergencies (like when they need to sneak a temporary one in to ensure they keep their promise of finishing a route!)
If Tesla takes the sled back, an enterprising DC fast charger company may want to make the servo an offer, seeing as there would be no infrastructure upgrades required and minimal civil works required!

I got a reply back from them on Facebook! This is the spot:

There's a carpark there as a part of the Tourist Information Centre, a toilet block over the road and the few shops are a couple of hundred metres walk. There's nothing open in Euroa after-hours except the servo on the Hume. I imagine that its moving because the servo has limited power and that there's no way that they can put a 6 bay service there. Shame there's nothing whatsoever in Euroa

Yeah that Facebook comment thread is a bit scary, not going to get into correcting anyone on there.
I do worry about after hours charging at the new location though, nothing open nearby after hours (I'm aware of) and the centre of town is a bit off the hwy (3 mins vs 0 mins out of the way of a hwy commuter so not a big deal). The current spot has 24hr ammenities and is right on the highway so I guess compromises had to be made to have the space for charging spots. Seemed like a lot of empty area at the service station though! Looking forward to checking it out when built...

The new site has been added to supercharge.info as "permit" status. The council news item suggests "construction" status, so I guess the race is on to get photographic evidence
