“It is a great way to invite the community back into the area and will be a fantastic, free event for families and anyone interested in the project,” she said.

The freshly coloured play space includes stepping stones, a slide and climbing equipment.

Some local retailers and traders have organised special offerings for customers, providing a chance to do some last-minute Mother’s Day shopping.

The event will be at the Fraser St entrance to the mall from 10am to 2pm this Saturday, May 7. For more information, contact council’s place manager on 5832 9200 or visit https://greatershepparton.com.au/whats-happening/events/event-details/!/464/event/maude-street-stage-1-celebration-2022-05-07
