Two new spaces are open for the Mansfield community to enjoy.
The ampitheatre on the east end of the High Street median strip and the Gadhaba Gathering Place at the Mansfield Station Precinct have both had construction fencing removed and are available for the community to use.
Mansfield Shire Council has delivered these projects with funding from the Victorian Government’s COVIDSafe Outdoor Activation Fund. Construction was completed by local company Tectonic Civil.
Mayor Cr James Tehan said the projects were already creating activity in Mansfield’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 Visitor Information Centre and the Mansfield Botanic Park, a bicycle repair station at the trailhead of the Rail Trail and sound equipment for the median strip,” said Cr Tehan.
