Sunshine Beach Skatepark
This consultation has now closed and the project has been completed. Thank you for your input which has helped shape this project for the community.
Council and Convic, skatepark designers, captured ideas for an upgrade from the community at a public meeting that was held at Sunshine Beach skatepark on Saturday April 23, 2016. These ideas were considered in the new design for the upgrade.
Council presented a Draft Concept Design to the community in August 2016. Again, this feedback contributed to the final design.
The new design was accepted by Council, construction went ahead and the newly revamped Skate Park reopened in September 2017.
Convic has been involved in the design construction of skateparks around the world and is considered one of the leaders in the field.
People who could not attend the public public meetings had the opportunity to provide their ideas to Council, via email Council.
Phases
Consultation on concept design
Over 100 people attended the Sunshine Beach Skate Day to provide their thoughts on what the Skate Park redevelopment should involve. Initial reviews of the surveys completed on the day indicate that skaters like the vert ramp most and dislike the existing rough surface of the concrete. Ideas for improvements were varied, with most requesting better shade and a better water bubbler. The main concern emerging from skaters for the redevelopment is to ensure the finished surface of the park is smooth and non-abrasive. Council will be working with designers Convic to consider the ideas generated from the Skate Day into the final skate park design.
