Port Kembla Skate Facility
Consultation has concluded
Following the Council meeting on Monday 4 April 2022, we're seeking community feedback on the temporary skate facility in Port Kembla.
After community engagement in 2021 to develop the King George V Park Recreation Master Plan, residents from the local community built a temporary skate facility in the north-western corner of King George V Park, on the corner of First Avenue and Tobruk Avenue.
The skate structures varied in quality and safety, and require Council approval because they are on Council land. There are no existing formal skate facilities in the Port Kembla area, with the nearest formal facility located in Holborn Park, Berkeley.
Council meeting - Notice of Motion
Councillors, at their meeting Monday 4 April 2022 resolved that Council:
1. Prepare an on-site and online consultation as soon as possible ahead of any action on the current skate facility to ensure residents and skate facility users’ views are heard in respect to all issues and options for the future of the Skate Facility at the King George V site or other sites in Port Kembla.
2. Work with the Port Kembla community to review the current temporary skate facilities on-site, including providing information so that elements can be upgraded to standards, and remove equipment that can’t be made to standards for skate facilities.
3. Support the consideration of funding mobile skate facilities as a part of the Council budget process to be shared around the city, including in Port Kembla.
