Lines of oaks
The planting of lines of Oak tree should be priortised in the historic Victorian precincts which form part of the framework footprint. We protect our historic buildings. We need to match further planting with the precendent demanded by existing Victorian built form.
Showgrounds pedestrian crossing
The Showgrounds masterplan shows vehicular access will be from Beauchamp street opposite Kyneton plumbing and Building Supplies. The Mollison street entrance will be only for pedestrians. We need a new crossing for pedestrian safety at the Mollison street entrance.
Quarry Reserve
Quarry Reserve already has a range of local tree species. There is an opportunity to add understorey species. Its an opportunity to have both Indigenous and Victorian heritage co-existing in our town centre.
Dianella amoena
Glycine latrobeana
Retention of the Lions pavilion at its existing location
Maintain the Lions kiosk in its current location. Make it useful and fully functional with plumbing and regular maintenance. Make it available for the community to use for events and fund raising all the time.
High street pedestrian mall
Imagine a pedestrian mall along High Street from Mollison Street to Ferguson Street. With shade tree plantings this could create a pleasant area for shoppers, a safe walk and a place to hang out for school students from the two high schools Cafes could extend their seating into the mall. A pedestrian mall would lead to and from the Kyneton Town Square and connect the two areas.
Woolworths carpark
The closure of access of the Woolworths carpark to Baynton street is essential to the extension of the Mechanics Reserve to the end of the Woolworths building. It is also essential for the establishment of free flowing public open space flowing from Mollison street along Baynton street across to Simpson street.
Extension of Mechanics Reserve
The Co-Op Board has had a very useful meeting with the Council infrastructure officers. It seems that circulation and parking issues have not raised a red flag in our latest ketch(above) which forms a component of our submission to the Urban Design Framework. Town Square tours can be arranged for you on Saturdays by catching up with the team at the Lion’s kiosk between 10am and 1 pm after the Council elections are done and dusted.
Formal inclusion of the Town Square vision in the UDF
Removal of the electric charging station
This eletric charging has blocked the free flow between the open public space in the Town Square and the Mechanics Reserve.
