Kyneton residents have a long history of community involvement in businesses and activities that enrich and protect the town’s cultural heritage and environs. The co-op was first conceived in 2018 following a successful effort to preserve the historic Kyneton Primary School building. The Co-Op brings together local expertise fostering community efforts to protect local waterways, improve urban design, and last but not least, bring to fruition the vision to develop the now renovated old school property as a community-led publicly-owned town square in the heart of Kyneton. A living town square for Kyneton residents and visitors alike to enjoy.
Help the Co-Op build and maintain a thriving commercially sustainable community hub.
The Town Square Story
Kyneton and District Town Square Co-Op was formed in 2018 to facilitate community engagement and agency as central to the successful retention of the Old Kyneton Primary School site in public ownership. The school site now has the potential to became part of a broader resident driven vision for the development of a town square in the heart of Kyneton.
