New netball and little athletics facilities have been funded for development following Council’s adoption of the Kyneton Showgrounds Master Plan in March 2023.
This also follows the Victorian Government pledging up to $1.5 million towards upgraded netball facilities in November 2022.
In line with master plan recommendations, proposed upgrades will include:
Implementation of the Kyneton Showgrounds Master Plan will progress following a decision by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) to strike out an objector application submitted in late 2023 to review Council’s decision to grant a planning permit for the tree removal on the site.
During the VCAT hearing held on Friday 5 April 2024, it was determined that due to an amendment to the Macedon Ranges Planning Scheme (Amendment C145) on 22 February 2024, a permit was no longer required for the removal of the 10 non-native mature trees located where the new netball courts and facilities are proposed.
Construction of the new netball facilities is planned to commence at the completion of the 2024 football/netball season.

Works to relocate the Little Athletics facilities away from the current site near the netball court to a dedicated space near the bottom oval are now complete. The new facilities include a customised storage shed, discus cage and circle, shot put circles, and two long jump/triple jump run-ups and pits.
