Kyneton Town Square Group A comprehensive submission begins by outlining the key purpose, objective and mandate of the group and provides a detailed analysis of costing and operation costs, including a suggested delivery model to managing the site to achieve a community-led and owned approach. The report provides detailed insights into community needs and links to various engagement activity findings. The submission proposed a vision Kyneton has a strong cultural connection with the former primary school. Sensitivity to place is an important backdrop, as we search for ways to reinvent its uses and relevance for the local residents it has served for 165 years. The central focus of our proposal is to create a town square which will enhance our sense of community, a strong sense of place and the resilience to deal with the challenges of the future. We believe that community is the strength of our town and are committed to nourishing an active community through broad participation. Broad participation in an exciting future that we, and unborn generations, can engage in with enthusiasm. The concept of a town square has the potential to bring Kyneton residents of all ages and backgrounds together to share a common space. The project has the capacity to embed our lives in the lives of others. This is an essential part of the social fabric of belonging. The report outlines a list of community groups, organisations and individuals which have shown interest and range of different social enterprises that are compatible and supportive of the vision that wants to achieve for the site. The submission includes detailed financial costings and floor place requirement that can be found in appendices of this report. The key ideas for the site are: Festival, market open space Urban park and community garden Pedestrian connections through the site Retention of the existing buildings, established trees and landscaping Utilisation of the existing bluestone building and ancillary school buildings for community groups, activities, business initiatives and spaces for hire.
