The Kyneton Mechanics Institute was reopened in 2012 after extensive restoration works and has been well supported by the community over the past 12 months.
Since reopening almost 12 months ago, more than 8000 people have attended a range of community functions, events and meetings at the Kyneton Mechanics Institute.
The building was reopened in 2012 after extensive restoration works that were jointly funded by council and the Victorian Government.
It features heritage décor, beautifully restored meeting rooms of various sizes and the main hall which seats approximately 200.
Mayor, Roger Jukes, said the community has embraced the venue.
"Kyneton Connections have sourced cutlery and crockery for the kitchen through council's Community Funding Scheme and the Friends of the KMI are raising funds for curtains, he said.
"Local community groups have also made good use of the free meeting space, which is available for not-for-profit groups up to six times a year, free of charge."
Over the past 12 months:
· 8087 people have attended a function, event or meeting in the Kyneton Mechanics Institute
· 24 private and public events or activities have used the space
· 95 public and community meetings
· 37 youth drama classes run by private operator
· Three months block hire by the Victorian Electoral Commission as offices.
