LITTLE Malop Central in the Geelong CBD is undergoing a range of changes, including a large stage for live performances set to be installed in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

This is part of City of Greater Geelong’s $315,000 activation project. The project looks to rejuvenate Little Malop Central by introducing movable seating and seating around trees; planter boxes; play equipment; 3D art on walls and pavements; and by reinstating the water feature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The public toilet in Little Malop central will be temporarily removed while the works take place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
City of Greater Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher said the recent changes were part of a much larger plan to improve the mall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“While there is planning underway regarding the mall’s long-term future, the council has taken action to improve the space in the short-term.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“With further capital works and a large program of activations to be in place before Christmas, we hope to see the mall start to become a more vibrant space that our community enjoys visiting.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
These works will see Little Malop central redeveloped into three precincts: live entertainment, socialising and eating, and a children’s play area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The program was planned in consultation with the police, traders, property owners and other community groups. The council intends to continue communications with these groups as the work continues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
November and December will see a range of Christmas themes activities held in the mall. This will include a display of Christmas trees from different schools.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Cr Eddy Kontelj said he was confident these initiatives would improve the area considerably.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“It’s good to see work underway on the first step in a series of short-term initiatives that we trust will reinvigorate the Little Malop Mall for the community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“We want it to be a welcoming place where people of all ages can meet and socialise with friends and family or spend time as individuals.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The changes to Little Malop Central will be independently assessed to determine how welcoming, clean and safe visitors find the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
With the public toilets in the area closed, other ones can be found nearby at Market Square Shopping Centre, Westfield Geelong, the Civic Centre Car Park, the Geelong Library & Heritage Centre, Transvaal Square, on the corner of Malop and Moorabool streets, Little Ryrie Street and the Waterfront.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
