The Maldon Transfer Station will be closed from Wednesday 21 October to Sunday 25 October. The Castlemaine Transfer Station will operate as normal.
Mount Alexander Shire Council transformed the old tennis court in Taradale adjacent to the Taradale Mineral Springs into an interactive Youth Space that provides a great recreation space for all ages and abilities and is an attractive new addition to the area.
• centrally located inclusive and accessible multi-purpose youth space
• much needed outdoor hard surfaces for informal recreation such as basketball, soccer and a hit up wall
• mini pump track for cycling, scooting and skating, grassed and treed areas, picnic tables and bench seats.
Overall, the project created a desirable destination for physical and social activity for local and visiting youth.
The project also refurbished the old tennis shed and provided a wombat pedestrian crossing to link the youth space to the beautiful Taradale Mineral Springs enhancing safe access to the space.
The project was a community initiative and will provides a much-needed recreation space for older children in the area.
The project began in March 2023 and was officially opened by Hon. Mary-Anne Thomas MP Member for Macedon on 16 July 2024.
The Taradale Youth Space project was delivered by Mount Alexander Shire Council in partnership with the Victorian Government.
