Princes Park precinct is a much-loved destination and has been used by individuals and groups over many generations.
The Grandstand is the jewel in the crown of this precinct. It is an iconic landmark in Maryborough and the backdrop to community sport and the award-winning Energy Breakthrough event.
In 2022 a Conservation Management Plan was developed for the Grandstand - to provide guidance for the conservation and heritage management so that the Grandstand can be preserved for years to come.
Now it is the time for us to advocate so that the Grandstand can be refurbished.
Our first step is to get clear on what our community needs and to develop detailed designs to support funding opportunities when suitable grants become available.
This process will start in April once consultants have been appointed to work with us all, with conservation works taking priority.
