Growing Winchelsea Projects
Proposed Riverside Amphitheatre – Winchelsea by the Barwon
A vision for connection, culture, and community
A 5 Pillars Project:
People, Place, Planet, Prosperity, Participation
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
Growing Winchelsea Inc. is exploring an exciting community-driven concept — a natural riverside amphitheatre nestled along the banks of the Barwon River. This outdoor space would serve as a unique venue for live performances, community events, storytelling, school concerts, local theatre, carols, and more — all in a picturesque and accessible setting.
Project Purpose
- Celebrate local talent and culture in a natural, family-friendly space
- Create a flexible venue for music, arts, education, and community gatherings
- Strengthen community connections and encourage year-round activation of the riverfront
- Support economic and tourism benefits for local businesses and the broader region
Community Benefits
- An open-air performance space that respects the landscape and enhances the river’s natural beauty
- Opportunities for local schools, artists, musicians, and community groups to perform, present, and participate
- Increased activation of Winchelsea’s riverside precinct, drawing both locals and visitors
- A gathering place that brings culture, connection, and joy to the heart of Winchelsea
