Northern Victoria Region

Gaelle BROAD (Northern Victoria) (14:04): (1629) My question is to the Minister for Creative Industries and is regarding the old Kyneton Primary School site located at Baynton Street in Kyneton. In March 2018 the Victorian government announced a $12 million commitment to redeveloping the site into a creative community precinct. It was due to be completed 12 months ago, but visiting the site yesterday, it remains fenced off and is inaccessible to the public. I understand that the Macedon Ranges Shire Council has written directly to Creative Victoria seeking a comprehensive update on the status and future plans for the site. On behalf of local residents, I ask the minister to provide a comprehensive update, including details of when the works will be completed and open for public use, and to commit to providing monthly progress updates on the Creative Victoria website.
