November 2023 update

The November 2023 Port Fairy Skate and Play concept design report is now available to download. This features some design updates as a result of listening to community feedback from October consultations. These include offering more challenging play equipment for older children, some modifications to the skate design increasing offsets from residences from 50m to 55m, additional fencing to playground area and more shaded and landscape areas.

The community information sessions held on 22-23 November provided these latest concept design plans to the community, along with an opportunity to walk through the site layout with the designers. Council is pleased to be moving forward on this project, which meets the local community’s need for activity and play spaces.

Over 100 people attended the on-site 23 November public meeting and were given the opportunity to provide feedback and ask questions of the design consultants Convic and Council staff. Council also separately met with the residents group to further discuss aspects of the development.

Council has listened to the concerns and ideas from both sides, and the design team will assess what ideas are feasible to include in the final Concept Design Plan. This will be completed by the end of the year to then progress the project to detailed design and construction stages in 2024.
