Macedon Ranges Council has adopted a master plan to upgrade Kyneton Showgrounds, which includes new netball courts and change facilities, but it may be several seasons away before the project is completed.

Kyneton FNC will be one of many local clubs applying for the Federal Play Our Way grants officially opening later this month.
