Background

Tara Showgrounds are located on Showgrounds Road neighbouring the beautiful Tara Lagoon Camping Area.

The Showgrounds are home to the Annual Show every March, the Tara Festival of Culture and Camel races every two years in August, Polocross, Tara Races, Campdraft, Senior Cricket and Easter Sheepdog Trials.

There are opportunities to bring new and exciting events to Tara to support the local economy and community, and ensure long term success through site infrastructure needs and upgrades.

Where are we now

Consultation with key stakeholders, including regular user groups and hirers, were held through an online survey and in person meetings in April 2024.

Our consultants have presented masterplan options to Council, and further site investigations are underway. The outcomes of this work will help to determine any further studies and planning necessary for progressing the masterplanning process.

Community consultation, including neighbour input and drop-in sessions, will be held once the necessary preliminary studies have been completed. Watch this space!
