To support our neighbours at Mount Alexander Shire Council and those impacted by the Harcourt fire north of our border, the decision has been made for Macedon Ranges Shire Council to host an Emergency Relief Centre (ERC) at the Kyneton Toyota Sports & Aquatic Centre (KTSAC), to welcome anyone who needs to evacuate the fire and does not have a safe place to go.
This ERC is now open and you may notice increased activity in the immediate area, as we welcome our neighbours by providing a safe space for both human and animal relief (including power, showers and other amenities).
To support the focus on the ERC and any evacuees, for the time being, KTSAC's business-as-usual services will not operate (i.e. no swimming pool or gym). We thank our residents and members for their understanding during this time, and we'll endeavour to communicate any functional updates here and on our social media pages as things progress.
