Castlemaine’s creative sector is set to receive a welcome boost thanks to a partnership between the state government and Mount Alexander Shire Council.
Bendigo West MP Maree Edwards visited Castlemaine’s pop-up outdoor entertainment space ‘The Village Square’ in Frederick Street on Monday to announce council would receive $325,000 in funding for two creative projects: upgrading and extending Castlemaine’s successful pop-up outdoor entertainment space to provide more local creative opportunities and Stage 2 of the ‘Get Lost’ online creative platform.
