The Golden Plains Youth Committee is bringing the National Cinema Pop Up project to the Bannockburn Recreation Precinct from 29 November to 2 December 2018, thanks to Golden Plains Shire Councils FReeZA funding.

FReeZA is a Victorian Government initiative that supports young Victorians to get involved in their community by planning and running drug, smoke and alcohol-free music and cultural events for other young people. The Golden Plains Youth Committee are a group of community minded young people who meet every Thursday to plan free, accessible and safe events for other young people, central to the planning and decision making of the event which enables them to develop valuable employability skills, connections to community and engage in positive citizenship

Cr Helena Kirby, Mayor, said Council is excited to host this wonderful event in Bannockburn.

“There are so many people in the wider community who will enjoy kicking off the festive season with a relaxed family-friendly atmosphere.

“I’m especially proud of the Golden Plains Youth Committee for initiating this event with the assistance of Golden Plains Shire Council’s FReeZA funding – it’s a true community partnership and I’m sure all four nights will be great fun for all.”

Toyota Regional Marketing Manager, Andre Palayan has said, “supporting community events is part of Toyota’s DNA and the team at Blood Toyota are incredibly proud to be supporting this event in Bannockburn.”

TAC senior road safety manager Samantha Cockfield said Cinema Pop-Up is a new way for the TAC to get its road safety message into regional Victoria.

"Victorians are four times more likely to die on country roads so we're always looking for new ways to help country Victorians get home safely, every time they get behind the wheel."

The pop-up roadshow will feature a candy bar with frozen drinks, popcorn, ice creams and a licensed bar, and encourages families to come along early, get a good spot, and set up with blankets and cushions before the movie kicks off. The Bannockburn Soccer Club will be running a fundraising BBQ each evening.
