Would you like to hire out the Create Crate to make a Pop-Up space in your town? Put your imaginative thinking caps on and create what’s missing in your town!
The Create Crate is a mobile trailer with lots of goodies to create great spaces packed into a tradesman’s trailer. The Create Crate is full of giant games, juggling and circus equipment, deck chairs, fake grass and much, much more!
Find out what is in the Create Crate here.
Groups in the Golden Plains Shire can hire the Create Crate for one day or a month to create a pop-up space in your town, it’s up to you! We want you to use the resource for as little or as long as you think it will take to get your community excited about your fun and exciting space!
The goal is for communities to use the mobile resource to make new and inviting places to meet and interact in their own towns. The Create Crate can be used to engage and connect communities, to showcase and recruit new participants to opportunities that are on offer, to trial new activities, or to revitalise an underutilised place.
If you want to set up a weekly cricket game in summer then here’s your chance! What about a place for after school activities? Or somewhere to catch up with friends and even make new ones?
