We, the undersigned petition the Macedon Ranges Shire Council to commit at least $100,000 in the 2013-14 budget towards restoring Kyneton’s Bluestone Theatre – the only publicly available purpose-built theatre in the Shire – to operating condition, so that it can again be a focus for theatrical activity in the Shire and provide a suitable venue for local and visiting productions, for youth theatre, and for the Kyneton One-Act Play Festival, the longest running one-act play festival in the state. We see this as critical to attracting people to the Shire, both as residents and tourists, and an essential complement to the hospitality and art activities that already thrive in the region.

Please note: This petition is free to sign. The company hosting the petition will suggest you make a donation, which you do not have to do. One of the supporters of the Save The Bluestone Theatre campaign will be making a donation to the petition hosting company once our petition as been delivered to Council.

100k is nothing compared to how much it brings in for local tourism. council needs to wake up and spend the money where it actually matters.
