Draft options for the future of hanging rock

The Macedon Ranges and wider community are encouraged to view the new draft Hanging Rock Master Plan Options Paper and provide feedback about the future layout and events at this historically and culturally significant Victorian landmark.

The draft Hanging Rock Master Plan Options Paper will go on display for public comment on Monday 14 August. It outlines a range of possible activities and upgrades to the Hanging Rock precinct including a new visitor centre, new café and changes to the location of the entry. Other options include upgrades to trails, environmental improvements, improved parking, sport facility options and event opportunities.

The draft Hanging Rock Master Plan Options is a tool to let the community have input into what actions and activities they would like to see at Hanging Rock in the future. It was developed following community consultation in late 2016.

The Options Paper can be viewed online at mrsc.vic.gov.au/yoursay or at Macedon Ranges Shire Council’s office at 40 Robertson Street, Gisborne. Submissions can be made online or by writing.

There will be a community forum about the Options Paper in late August or early September.

People have until Friday 15 September to provide feedback on the options paper. This feedback will be collated, reviewed and will guide the final Hanging Rock Master Plan, which will be finalised by the end of the year.
