Castlemaine to star in feature film

Castlemaine has been chosen for the location of a new feature film, The Mongoose, starring Liam Neeson.

Filming will take place from 17 to 25 February, and will benefit local businesses and tourism, while also putting Castlemaine on the world stage.

Filming will involve some disruption to road access in parts of central Castlemaine, specifically on Lyttleton, Templeton and Frederick Streets, as well as some filming on the Midland Highway near Maclise Street.

We understand that this might cause some inconvenience. We’re seeking to maximise the substantial benefits this opportunity presents the shire and the wider region, while recognising and minimising the effect it has on the community’s day-to-day operations.
