The Village Square was a temporary pop-up venue located on the corner of Lyttleton and Frederick Streets, Castlemaine. The project was made possible through the Victorian Government’s COVIDSafe Outdoor Activation Fund and Creative Neighborhoods Partnership Pilot Program.
Through the Village Square project, Council has purchased mobile outdoor event infrastructure to support further outdoor program development opportunities in the future.
The site was chosen to highlight Council’s plans to improve Frederick Street through temporary arts activations (Castlemaine Streetscape Plan and Design Standards 2020).
This pop-up space was closed at the end of June 2022.
