Final days to have your say on Tatura Skate Park consultation

In Summary

Community consultation on the Tatura Skate Park closes at 5.00pm on Friday 4 April 2025 – residents are encouraged to provide feedback on the proposed design.
A suggested realignment of the skate park footprint (East–West) was well received during the second consultation session, offering improved visibility and reduced tree removal.
The redesign could also preserve the existing slab for future repurposing and reduce debris from nearby gum trees.
Feedback can be submitted online via the Shaping Greater Shepp website, with plans and project details available on Council’s Major Projects page.

The second in-person community consultation session, held on Monday 24 March, saw fantastic engagement from residents, with many valuable ideas and suggestions shared. One of the standout proposals was the realignment of the skate park footprint, which offers several potential benefits, including:

Improved visibility into the skate park
Reduced debris from the existing gum trees
Preservation of the existing slab for future repurposing
Fewer trees needing to be removed

The initial design footprint had the skate park positioned North-South, the new alignment will see it positioned East-West. Please see the site plan attached on page two for reference.

Council’s Director Infrastructure, Gary Randhawa, encouraged residents to provide their feedback before the deadline.

“This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of the Tatura Skate Park and ensure it meets the needs of local skaters, BMX riders, and scooter users,” he said.

“Community input has been invaluable so far, and we want to hear from as many people as possible before the consultation closes.”
