Consultation about Baynton Street site begins

The opportunity has arrived to share ideas about the Kyneton Primary School site with Macedon Ranges council and the project consultants.

The council is encouraging residents to give their feedback on the future of the Baynton Street site, which the school vacates at the end of the term, at two upcoming sessions.

Those interested in participating can visit the council marquee at Kyneton Community Park on Saturday, October 28, from 2-4pm.

Alternatively, residents can share ideas on Saturday, November 18, from 10am-noon at the council marquee at the Kyneton Showgrounds.

Project consultants Ethos Urban, appointed by the council last month, will be at the marquees collecting suggestions.

Ideas can also be shared online at www.mrsc.vic.gov.au/kps-master-plan or by collecting a survey at a council office. Feedback will close on Wednesday, November 22.

The council said feedback would support the site’s master plan.

Mayor Jennifer Anderson said the council wanted to develop a plan that maximised the site’s potential social and economic benefits.

“The master plan will reflect the desires of the local community now, and also the needs of the Kyneton community into the future,” Cr Anderson said.

For information contact the council’s community places and partnerships co-ordinator Jodie Turner on 5422 0333.
