Additionally, it is estimated to generate 75 local construction jobs,\u201d said managing director, Marco Gattino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEarly interest in Cornerstone: Kyneton has been extremely strong with Bunnings, McDonalds, Supercheap Auto, Petstock, KFC, 7 Eleven, and Shine Station Carwash taking up major tenancies in the new precinct.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8216;DETRIMENTAL IMPACTS&#8217;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>VCAT approved the development in 2022 despite Macedon Ranges Shire Council advising the tribunal it would have rejected the proposal for its \u201cdetrimental amenity impacts, poor design and interface with its surrounds, inadequate landscaping, and a poor layout for pedestrians within the car parking and access areas\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tribunal determined the development to be an appropriate addition to Kyneton\u2019s northern industry and commercial precinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the application had attracted hundreds of objections and saw the formation of an 830-strong lobby group &#8216;Keep Kyneton Country&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kyneton resident Lindy Priest said the VCAT decision was wrong from an environmental, economic and tourism perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s not the reputation Kyneton needs or wants,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need to talk about how we can strengthen Macedon Ranges Shire Council\u2019s planning policy so we don\u2019t get walked over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, Goldfields Group hired independent consultant JWS Research to conduct a survey of 399 Kyneton residents. The results found 77 per cent supported the Bunnings proposal, 76 per cent supported the proposed service centre and 66 per cent supported the proposed fast food restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8216;ECONOMIC GROWTH CORRIDOR&#8217;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Goldfields general manager of retail, Hugh Doyle, said about 10,000 vehicles would pass the Cornerstone: Kyneton intersection daily placing the precinct &#8220;at the heart of the region\u2019s booming economic growth corridor&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCornerstone: Kyneton will provide new opportunities for local retailers seeking high-end amenity alongside major brand retailers with strong destination shopping exposure,\u201d Mr Doyle said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We believe our new retail offering will act like a magnet for shoppers in the surrounding catchment and work to bring new customers into the Kyneton community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Goldfields\u2019 civil tender process has recently closed and they are in the process of appointing a civil construction group to deliver Stage 1 of the project. Construction of Stage 1 is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Completion is scheduled for early 2027.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Victorian
