Community Planning for Castlemaine begins


Are you passionate about Castlemaine? Are you interested in the future of your town?
 
Community members are invited to take part in community consultations in the coming weeks to find out what people love and value about Castlemaine, both now and in the future.
 
These consultations are the first stage of a community planning process facilitated by Council bringing together the Castlemaine community to develop a shared vision for the town.
