Today, Golden Plains Shire Councillor Gavin Gamble met with Member for Geelong, Christine Couzens MP to officially open the Bannockburn Skate Park Upgrade.
The skatepark has undergone a significant transformation, emerging as a dynamic recreational and social space tailored to the needs of the town’s rapidly expanding community. Upgrades include a multipurpose skate bowl, an inviting community space inclusive of street furniture, a BBQ, shelter, facility lighting and connecting pathways.
The Bannockburn Skate Park Upgrade was made possible through a collaborative funding effort, with $805,000 from the State Government and $192,881 from Golden Plains Shire Council.
