Daylesford area locals who enjoy an occasional rigorous game of squash or shooting a few hoops are set to benefit from a new agreement smashed out recently.

Members of the Daylesford Neighbourhood Centre (DNC) and the Hepburn Shire Council recently caught up to mark the new Service Agreement to manage the out-of-school-hours community use of the Daylesford Arts, Recreation and Cultural Centre (ARC).

The ARC is part of the Daylesford Secondary College and features three indoor multi-lined indoor courts, squash courts, canteen/kitchen, office, storage spaces and change amenities.

The service agreement is expected to ensure the centre provides access to a mix of recreation, social and sporting activities for the community.
