THE ampitheatre on the east end of the High Street median strip and the Gadhaba Gathering Place at the Mansfi eld Station Precinct have both had construction fencing removed and are now available for the community to use.

Mayor Cr James Tehan said the projects were already creating activity in Mansfi eld’s outdoor spaces.

“Over the busy weekend, many people were taking advantage of the extra seating to enjoy the sunshine,” said Cr Tehan.

“The Gadhaba Gathering Place was ready for NAIDOC Week celebrations and complements the Station Precinct and Great Victorian Rail Trail.

“There are many great projects that will continue to be delivered over coming months, including new seating on the way for the High Street median strip, the Visi-

Mansfi eld Shire Council delivered these projects with funding from the Victorian Government’s COVIDSafe Outdoor Activation Fund. Construction was completed by local company Tectonic Civil.

GOUGHS Bay will have a revamped streetscape with new and improved facilities for locals and visitors to enjoy following a council allocation of $50,000 in the 2021/2022 budget.

The streetscape will include an open space area at the intersection of Bayside Boulevard and Main Street with a shelter, free BBQ and picnic seating.

Landscaping, drainage works and selective scrub removal will be undertaken, improving views to Lake Eildon and transforming the space into a more attractive and functional area for community use.

In addition to seating in the open space, new durable and ecofriendly picnic settings will be installed in the coming weeks at the General Store and on the foreshore opposite the caravan park.

A draft project plan was developed earlier this year in consultation with the Goughs Bay Progress Association who advocated for works that would improve both the streetscape and address the unique needs of the Goughs Bay community.

Wider consultation and feedback on the draft plan identified that picnic tables and the enhancement of open space was important to add amenity and to beautify the area.

Mayor Cr James Tehan said the project was underpinned by council’s town planning policies and a commitment to the beauty and amenity of public areas.

“As part of our commitment to vibrant liveability within the shire, we have worked closely with the Goughs Bay community to develop the plan and have considered the feedback from the many people who visit and stay at Goughs Bay to determine the final components to be included in the project,” Mayor Cr Tehan.

“These infrastructure improvements will meet the demands of the growing community and enhance the visitor experience in the longer term.”

Council said they will continue to work closely with the Goughs Bay community who will assist with labour to install the components of the project.

All works are anticipated to be completed later this year ready for the community and visitors ahead of the expected increase in visitation over the summer period.
