Bass Coast Shire Council is holding community consultation sessions for the San Remo Regional Skate Park and Play Space project.

People will be able to provide feedback and ideas for the project at community workshops and drop-in sessions throughout April and May, as well as online.

The consultation will focus on gathering ideas for the project to help Council work towards a design that suits the location and the needs of the local community.

The consultation will involve an independent facilitator and include representative consultants from Playce, who have been engaged by Council to oversee the design of the project.

In addition to creating a regional skate facility, the $1.3 million project will include an upgrade to the existing play space on the San Remo foreshore, improved access to the cenotaph and will create a better gathering space for commemoration ceremonies.

The workshops and pop-up sessions will start in early April and continue throughout May. If interested participants are unable to attend these sessions, there will be an opportunity to provide feedback online. An online survey is available at www.basscoast.vic.gov.au/skate.

The first workshops will be held on Monday, 1 April from 5.30pm to 8.00pm and on Tuesday, 2 April from 1.00pm to 3.30pm and 5.30pm to 8.00pm, all at the San Remo Recreation Centre. Places are limited for these workshops and bookings can be made at www.basscoast.vic.gov.au/skate.
