Teens living in Kyneton will be able to chill out at Macedon Ranges council’s next youth night from next month.
Starting April 26, the sessions, called Wednesday Knights, will run every second Wednesday and be held at the portable behind the council’s Kyneton office.
Council said the free, supervised sessions will be open to secondary school-aged children with games and food provided.
Mayor Annette Death said the need for additional youth spaces was identified in discussions between council and young people, which was also used to inform the youth services 10 year strategy.
“It’s important that we keep young people engaged through a range of initiatives, like this new youth space in Kyneton,” she said.
“I encourage people to visit council’s website for more diverse, inclusive youth activities to come throughout autumn and beyond.”
The council will be running additional youth activities, including an art installation on wheels, an open mic night and open-air cinema night.
The art installation, called the Fungi Town caravan, is led by artist Kathy Holowko and will visit Kyneton Town Hall on Wednesday, April, 12 and the Romsey Hub on Thursday April, 13.
The workshops will run for two hours and it is essential to book, council said.
