Community consultation
The consultants presented the following two concept designs, based on the community’s consultation and suggestions. These two concept designs were open for the community to provide feedback throughout the consultation period, between 24 March and Friday 4 April 2025.
A second community consultation session, held on Monday 24 March, generated an array of fantastic suggestions and ideas from our engaged community members.
A standout proposal was the realignment of the skate park footprint, which we believe will bring several positive benefits to the project. The advantages of this proposed change include:
- Improved visibility into the skate park
- Reduced debris from the existing gum trees
- Preservation of the existing slab for future repurposing
- Fewer trees needing to be removed
