Following on from the success of our Northern Gramps Girls Can campaign last year where council lit up exercise spaces in the early mornings, several of the shire’s sporting facilities are due to light up again in 2026. Between May 4 and September 30, spaces in Stawell and St Arnaud will light up from 6pm to 7.30pm on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and from 6am and 7am on Wednesday mornings.

Council manages a number of open spaces, such as sporting reserves, that are available for use by clubs, organisations and individuals throughout our community for various types of events including sporting games and training, school sports days, and fun runs.
Please note, council's general public areas such as the North Park Skate Park, Market Square and Cato Park playground are not available to be booked for exclusive access.
If you or your group would like to book any of the above spaces and facilities, please select from one of the following options:
Regular users of council reserves do not have an assumed booking of reserve and must complete the online form(s) on each occasion of use, however this may be requested on a seasonal basis by attaching a list of dates to the request.
Please be aware that several buildings on council reserves are leased for exclusive use by organisations, such as the Central Park Clubrooms for example. If you require the use of a leased council building, please contact the organisation who leases the premises directly to make arrangements. Council can help direct you to the appropriate contact if required.
