There is a flipping good news for skateboarders in Kooweerup.
The township’s skatepark is getting a major upgrade, with construction expected in autumn.
Cardinia Shire Council recently awarded the tender to design and build the new skate park to Baseplate and Grind Projects.
Grind Projects are one of Australia’s premier skate park builders and Baseplate were responsible for designing the Gembrook Skate Park in 2018.
“This is the exciting first step in getting this project off the ground,” Cardinia Shire Mayor Brett Owen said.
Westernport Councillor Kaye Cameron welcomed the news.
“The community has been patiently waiting for the upgrade of this much-loved skate park and we’re excited to kick the project off with the tender now finalised,” said Cr Cameron.
“The skatepark will remain open over the busy summer period with construction expected to commence in autumn.”
