Skate and BMX plan review

Do you like to “Pop an Ollie” after school? Or maybe you “grind” your way through weekends.

If that’s the way you roll, Yarra Ranges Council needs your opinion.

We are reviewing our Skate and BMX Plan and want to hear from schools, community groups, parents, users and spectators as part of its consultation process.

The revised Skate and BMX Plan will provide us  and the community with a clear direction on the future development of Skate and BMX facilities in the Yarra Ranges.

Extreme sports like skating and BMX riding are one of the fastest growing areas of recreation participation in Australia and young people in particular are passionate about it.

 

We are keen review our plans to ensure we are providing the best skate & BMX facilities we can so we are surveying people on their views. There are prizes up for grabs for participants.

Find the survey at www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au/SkateBMX.

Young people can also have their say at three local events these school holidays.

Council and Simply Skate have joined forces to run a mini Skate, Scooter and BMX event series;

·        Lilydale Skate Park on Friday 28 June from 3.30-5.30pm,

·        Upwey Skate Park on Tuesday 2 July from 2-4pm

·        Yarra Junction Skate Park on Friday 12 July from 1-3pm.
