Macedon Ranges Community Equestrian Facilities Plan

We have prepared a draft Community Equestrian Facilities Plan to guide investment and responsibilities relating to equestrian facilities across the shire.

The first stage of community consultation was conducted in 2023, followed by stage two in July/August 2024.

The Macedon Ranges is a horse lover's dream destination and provides opportunities for all riders and all experience levels.
