Did you hear the one about a golden cow, a village green, and a series of community pop-up sessions?

It might sound like the start of a bad dad joke, but Campaspe Shire is hoping the rather-random trio will help council craft a perfect play space for Tongala ‒ and they want your help.

Council is asking for feedback on how residents want to use the Potts Village Green play space after the project was identified as a priority in the Tongala Place Based Plan.

Upgrades will be funded through council’s Golden Cow Fund, a nod to the town’s former dairy education and tourist centre, with this round of community consultation informing the development of a concept plan for the space.

Feedback can be given either online or at one of council’s in-person pop-ups.
