Heritage & the Arts

I will:

Promote the heritage appeal of Castlemaine by preserving our old buildings, encouraging new buildings which respect their heritage surroundings and by ensuring that commercial signage is appropriate for a heritage town.
Encourage the arts, for example by vigorously supporting the Castlemaine State Festival, assisting in the development of performance and exhibition venues, and by ensuring that members of the arts community can still afford to live in the Shire.
Promote the beautification of the town by a program of street tree-planting and by the carefully planned burial of overhead telephone lines and power cables.
