Gold Camp Castlemaine is inviting the whole of Castlemaine to attend one of two public meetings at the Castlemaine Town Hall on Thursday, June 11, to look at a new vision for Camp Reserve.
The group said the new plan could potentially break the current impasse and offer a once-in-a-lifetime redevelopment that delivers premier facilities for sporting clubs, Camp Reserve user groups, and the community.
Group organisers told the Mail that the new plan draws on the body of work already compiled by the council and aligns with sports codes and multiple levels of policy.
Gold Camp Castlemaine has engaged Rush\Wright Associates and their team of consultants to review the planning application for Camp Reserve PA077/2025. They say the result is fresh and inspiring, could unite the community and tick all the boxes on everybody’s wish list.
As well as meeting relevant planning policy, the plan would keep the essence of the Camp’s historic landscape, which can then be restored.
The group are hopeful all parties will see merit in this review and rethink, including all the sports clubs and community groups that have given feedback in the past.
The two sessions will take place from 4 pm-5.30 pm and from 6pm-7.30pm.
You can find out more, meet the external consultant team, ask questions and see what you think.
“It is time to bring the community together with a plan that delivers for everyone in the shire,” a Gold Camp Castlemaine spokesperson said.
Everyone is warmly welcome.
