Experience
On the southern side what was
once a vacant lot is now an active area with a stunning structure that reflects
the Kerang environment, its natural and agricultural heritage as well as
indicating its exciting commitment to solar energy. This structure is the
setting for many local events and activities. Used as a music venue, an outdoor
cinema, for holding a small market for craftspeople and for the food vans that
provide new and exciting places to eat, it always draws a crowd.
This insertion is temporary but indicates to
potential investors that the site can generate popular interest, attract new
uses and contribute to the expansion of the town centre. The structure
can be modified and utilized in various locations where there is underutilized
space, or where activation is required.
