Project Details

Our role in this project was to prepare and submit the required planning documents and gain approval of the recreation facility for our client, Convic Skate Park Design. There were many intricacies with this project, including being located in an iconic State heritage listed RAAF seaplane base used during WWII, community concerns of potential crime and anti-social behaviour and conflicting objectives and outcomes for the Government agencies involved. This project was approved by Lake Macquarie City Council in December 2023 with the grand opening of the facility held on 26 October 2024.
