BANNOCKBURN HEART

Bannockburn’s rapidly growing population (8.5% p.a.) is creating challenges surrounding the lack of community space in the town centre.

The development of an attractive and welcoming multi-faceted community civic space in Bannockburn’s Main Street will create a ‘heart’ of town that celebrates the region’s heritage and culture through artwork, performances, functions, events and gatherings.

Located alongside the Bannockburn Library and Cultural Centre, the new ‘Bannockburn heart’ will also incorporate the award winning Golden Plains Farmers’ Market.

This $4.6 million project will transform the liveability and amenity of Bannockburn and increase activity in the town centre through increased visitation, active recreation, community participation, commerce and spending.

Stage one of the project was completed and opened to the public in December 2019.

Stage two of the project remains unfunded.

What is required

A government commitment of:

• $2 million for stage two of the Bannockburn Heart to create a village green and performance stage.
