Facility Audit - Sunshine Coast Council

SUNSHINE COAST SKATE AND BMX FACILITY STRATEGY 

DRAFT V2 March 2010 

Volume 3 – Supporting Resources 

(Facility Audit and Locality of Interest Findings) 

1

Introduction 

A good understanding of our current skate and BMX facilities, planning areas and 

regional demographics is essential to make plans for the Region’s future and Volume 3 – 

Supporting Resources provides this context for the preparation of the Sunshine Coast 

Skate and BMX Facility Strategy. 

This volume contains two major parts. 

1. The Facility Audit. This provides details into the region’s current skate and BMX 

facilities, their condition and any other characteristics which helps inform knowledge 

about each facility. 

2. The Locality of Interest Audit. This provides localised information across each of 

Council’s 44 Localities of Interest - Community Planning Areas in relation to population 

and demographic characteristics, current skate and BMX facility provision, analysis of 

findings, assessment against benchmarks and key recommendaitons to progress the 

strategy.

1. Facility Audit - Introduction 

A comprehensive site assessment and facility audit has been carried out. The results of the audit 

provide a clear understanding of the current status of skate and BMX facilities across the 

Sunshine Coast region and a sound platform on which to strategically plan and consider requests 

and opportunities for the provision of skate and BMX facilities. 

The audit involved the following tasks and activities: 

Activity 

Audit 

Description 

Inspect all 32 skate facilities and two formal BMX facilities to 

determine asset condition against generally accepted skate 

and BMX Park standards (e.g. regional, district, local 

standard) and catchments they serve. Identify and list major 

skate park components, elements and services to functional 

level, any management and maintenance constraints 

associated with the Skate and BMX facility network and 

establish asset useful life criteria. 

Audit engagement 

Engage with local users present at the facility during the 

audit to identify site specific issues and opportunities which 

may not be easily identifiable. 

Opportunistic engagement 

Undertake opportunistic consultation during the audit at six 

key facilities: Alexandra Headlands, Nambour, Tickle Park, 

Noosa, Beerwah, and Caloundra. 

Skate/BMX facility submissions 

Collate any submissions made to Council regarding specific 

facility upgrades and include in audit documents and 

implementation plan 

Skate/BMX facility usage rates 

Current levels of usage (low, medium, high): to be 

determined through observations and communication with 

users during Audit, through the Skate & BMX Advisory 

Group, and conversation with Council Officers. 

Opportunities for future 

development 

Identify preliminary opportunities for future development and 

broad recommendations for sites during the audit process. 

Audit data sheet 

Compile a facility data sheet for each skate and BMX park 

including works, quantities, photography, opportunistic 

engagement outcomes, etc. 

The following tables contain the findings of the facility audits across the Sunshine Coast 

Region.

Site Opportunities 

Site Constraints 

Basic Risk Analysis 

Ideal site for an Icon facility for the Sunshine Coast. 

The popularity of the facility and community acceptance places this 

site in an ideal position for an upgrade or complete redevelopment. 

Good access to support amenities and shops. 

Potential expansion issues due to the site being bounded by the 

coast and main road. 

Future predicted sea-level rise may create erosion and flooding 

issues.

Half pipe surface is bumpy. 

Rough sections on older elements i.e. hip, fun box and quarter 

pipe. 

Minimal leaf matter from overhanging tree. 

Sand due to close proximity to the beach. 

No 

Potential conflict between skate facility users and pedestrian/cyclist 

using the adjoining pathway.

Locality 1 – Beerwah 

Beerwah has been identified within the SEQ Regional Plan as a major regional activity centres and has further land that is 

outside the current Urban Footprint to the east of Beerwah and generally within one kilometre of Steve Irwin Way added as 

an Identified Growth Area. This is subject to further investigation and may accommodate further long-term economic and 

employment growth. Further additional lands in the Caloundra South (Halls Creek) and Beerwah-Caloundra South Corridor 

are also designated as Identified Growth Areas for further investigation to consider accommodating long-term residential and 

employment growth on the Sunshine Coast.

Key Points 

• Overall, surface condition is average, specifically there are cracks and gaps under coping which need addressing. 

• Erosion around platforms and embankments and mini bowl has poor drainage. 

• Water pooling up to 50mm deep occurs at low points in the facility - site is prone to flooding. 

• Site is isolated from township with limited public transport access. 

• Opportunity to integrate seating, include an additional bin, provide path linking facility to public toilet, undertake 

minor repairs - separation around coping and skirting around platform to alleviate erosion around platforms and 

embankments. 



Key Points 

• 10 th highest locality of young people (3,900) across the region by 2026. 

• Facility is located within the district facility catchments for Alexandra Headlands and the proposed Maroochydore 

iconic facility. 


Key Points 

• Short term - minor works required to improve surface condition, erosion points and address key findings. Ensure 

that works include exposed aggregate apron around perimeter of skate facility. Est $10k. 

• Monitor growth and usage rates to ensure facility is accessible to the localised community demands.

beginner to 


Concrete half pipe and grind ledge, and concrete 

seating, The Kuluin skate park is located in the 

northern strip of Kuluin Neighbourhood Park, off 

Tallow Wood Drive. 


Key Points 

• Has the highest number of young people in the region, however there is a lack of youth recreation facilities and 

this requires strategic consideration. 

• The existing facility is poorly located and designed, lacks visibility, has received complaints from local residents, 

has low level usage, is difficult to access, and experiences a high level of anti-social behaviour. 

• Shade sails were installed but have been removed due to continued vandalism. 

• By providing additional youth recreation facilities and support infrastructure to this will attract a positive mix of 

users and reduce the occurrence of anti-social behaviour and further define the space as a youth recreation area. 

• Given the poor location, relocation toward the greater Buderim populus and other existing community 

infrastructure may be the best longer term solution. 



Key Points 

• This locality falls within the district catchment for the Alexander Headlands facility and the proposed district and 

iconic facility catchments of Sippy Downs and Maroochydore. 


Key Points 

• Short term - Minor works required to improve surface condition, erosion points and address key findings. Ensure 

that works include exposed aggregate apron around perimeter of skate facility. Est $10k. 

• Medium Term – Review opportunity to relocate a skate and BMX facility closer to the Buderim and Mountain Creek 

populus. Elizabeth Daniels Reserve may provide an opportunity for the location of a local-district facility.

Key Points 

• Upgrade works 04/2010 - replaced 1/2 pipe surface sheets and painted. 

• All existing facilities in the north west of the region consist of similar elements and cater to users of the same skill 

level 

• Facility currently not serviced by a shade structure. 

• No seating for active users integrated with facility. 

• Minor erosion around street section and around banked and rounded bowl 

• High visibility from Maple Street and car park and passive surveillance from other park users and adjacent shops 

• Uneven joins on steel mini ramp and in older section of park and requires an extra layer of steel to spine mini ramp 

• Minor extensions and new elements would improve the flow and add new challenges 

• During consultation a number of people who were on BMXs at the skate park said they don’t use the dirt track 

because of the poor design and inappropriate construction material. 


165


Key Points 

• Current provision of facilities appears adequate against predicted population and catchment targets. 


Key Points 

Skate and BMX Facility: 

• Medium Term – minor upgrade to skate facility to correct minor erosion, uneven joints and reinforce steel mini 

ramp. Also consider some new elements to improve flow, shaded seating and add new challenges. Est $20-30K. 

BMX Dirt infrastructure: 

• Short Term - Need to ensure a BMX club supports the ongoing maintenance, management and use of this 

infrastructure. Consider MOU to outline roles and responsibilities and improve sustainability. 

• Short Term - Improve and increase challenge of jumps - reconstruct with appropriate materials (fine grad clay) - 

create sections for intermediate and advanced riders. Est $10K. 

• Site may require water or water bubbler.

Key Points 

• In 2006 this locality had approx 1,367 persons in the locality aged between 5 – 24 yrs. 

• In 2026 this locality is projected to have approx 2,500 young people. 

• Has designated urban and rural living areas within the SEQ RP which support continued growth. 


Key Points 

• From a district facility perspective this is serviced by Beerwah. 

• Population forecasts and relative proximity to other facilities indicates that some localised facility provision is 

required at Glasshouse and possibly Beerburrum in the longer term. 

• Will need to monitor adjacent Council skate facility provision in the south as this may alleviate some demand in an 

around Beerburrum. 


Key Points 

• Medium Term - Urban footprint characteristics, population demographics and the location triggers the provision of 

a future spot/dot at Glasshouse to compliment the neighbouring district skate facility at Beerwah. Est cost $40- 

120k 

• Long Term – Investigate need for minor skate dot/ spot infrastructure at Beerburrum due to its population base, 

urban living area designation and distance from skate and BMX facility – Beerwah 15km +. Est Cost $40-120k

Key Points 

• The facility receives low level usage, the existing asphalt base was too thin for the steel elements, the whole 

immediate area is unstable and prone to ‘sink holes’ due to the proximity to the lake, and is a public liability. 

• Generally low usage which increases slightly during school holidays. 

• Dispersed population base with low youth catchment numbers. 

• Rough asphalt ground base which is too thin for steel elements, cracks and pot holes, dangerous gap between 

where the fun box ramp meets the asphalt, the whole immediate area is unstable and prone to sink holes due to 

proximity to the lake, public liability risks are high. 

• The current element orientation does not utilise the flow 



Key Points 

• Low youth population base. Current provision appears under utilised and this matches pop characteristic figures. 


Key Points 

• Immediate - Upgrade works carried out 04/2010 including new deck, rust treatment and bitumen surface repairs. 

• Short term – consult local residents regarding the potential removal of facility (public liability). Dependant on 

outcomes the estimated short term maintenance costs are 10-20k.

Below average 




Key Points 

• High number of young people in the Landsborough - Mount Mellum Area. 

• Facility is underutilised, the design is outdated and does not meet the users’ needs. 

• Water leaks through concrete, poor drainage - water pooling (for several days)- sections of seating broken. 

• Rail over staircase is short and steep and grind block situated in path of fun box creating are safety issues. 

• Opportunity to relocated grind box from in front of fun box - Improve drainage and repair cracks in bowl and add 

new street elements. Consider a water bubbler, vandalism proof bins and shaded seating. 

• The Landsborough historical precinct may offer a future opportunity for this facility to be relocated closer to the 

town centre and increase opportunities for improved passive surveillance. 



Key Points 

• Provision of current local skate and BMX is adequate for this population base. 


Key Points 

• Medium Term – Improve drainage, transform stairs into bank, modify rail to make it more user friendly, remove 

grind box in front of fun box. Consider shaded seating solutions. Est 40-60k 

• Longer Term – consider a new facility as part of the Landsborough Historical Precinct development within the open 

space provision.

Key Points 

• Several Hot Growth Spots within this locality including CALTOC, Caloundra South (50,000 new population over 

30 years), Ivadale Lakes, Creekwood, Bell Vista etc which will contribute towards major growth occurring. As a 

result a planning response is required to ensure future community facilities including skate and BMX infrastructure 

meets the community’s needs. 

• New spot/dot facility is to be located at Caloundra West and is in the process of being developed 09/10 financial 

year (Rec through Caloundra City Council Recreation Strategy). 

• New district facility will be required within the new Caloundra South structure planning process. 


Little Mountain Skate Park 

- Poor visibility - due to isolated location and site is prone to anti social behaviour. 

- Flood prone site which lacks basic amenities/support infrastructure. 

- Fire damage to surface damage of bowl corner. 

- Design is outdated, undersized, impractical and in need of an upgrade, not a well supplied and kept park 

making it uninviting. 

- Current facility is approximately 2 km away from the new facility at Caloundra West to the north-west. 

However, Caloundra Road (major road) separates the two. 

189


Key Points 

• Current provision inadequate for future population projections. 

• Major district facility required in Caloundra South (approx 7,500 5-24years projected in this growth area alone). 


Key Points 

• Short Term - Little Mountain facility maintenance and upgrades required. Est 80k. 

• Short Term - New neighbourhood/ local facility for Cal West. $140k allocated 09/10. 

• Short Term – plan for a major district facility within Caloundra South Structure Plan area. 

• Long Term – Develop a Major district facility as part of Caloundra South Structure Planning process. Seeking 

developer contribution. Est $500k - $1M. 

• Long Term – Investigate the continued long term need for the little mountain area once the Caloundra South 

facility is operational.

Key Points 

For management issues/challenges & Potential Responses, refer to section 7.3 Volume 2. 

Mudjimba Skate Facility 

• Facility contains limited support facilities such as seating, shade or drinking taps and the park has limited public 

surveillance due to its isolated location. Parental supervision recommended for younger skaters. 

• Erosion around platform of ramp and embankment Coping damage on spine quarter - bends and rust on metal 

edge of grind block - chipped concrete at joint on 3 sided banked hip. 

• Opportunities to repair concrete aprons/platforms around ramps – minor and additional seating. 

• No room for expansion – prone to flooding. 

• Poor accessibility due to distance from residences – Isolated making access dangerous as crossing a busy 

highway is required - the proximity of wetlands nearby. 

• Skateboards could potentially shoot out and hit cars or go onto road. 

Pacific Paradise Skate and BMX facility 

• Skate facility in the process of being upgraded with removal of freestyle BMX dirt jumps. 

• Poor drainage – Erosion - Coping in poor condition

• Maroochydore is the Principle Activity Centre for the Sunshine coast Region and will include medium and high 

density dwellings and a centralised PT system. 

• Comparatively there are a high number of young people (5-24 years) in Maroochy (S) Coastal North at present, 

ranking ninth out of the 44 local areas. 

• Maroochy (S) Coastal North has the largest projected growth of young people 2009 to 2019 with an additional 

4,242 young people or 28.5% growth over the next 10 years. 

• User consultation identified Maroochydore as the preferred location for a large scale skate/BMX facility. 

• Although there are currently three skate/BMX facilities, two Local and one district level, over the next five to 10 

years there will be a gap in supply due to population growth and densities in the area. 

• While Alexandra Headland is proposed to be upgraded to an Icon, due to land constraints at the site, the size of 

the facility will not be able to cater for the projected growth in the area. 

• SEQ Greenfield Land Supply Review identifies Maroochydore as priority Greenfield site for development. 

• A centrally located regional facility was proposed in the previous Maroochy Skate and BMX Strategy 2003. 



Key Points 

• Dedicated Principal Activity Centre SEQ RP. 

• This and the Buderim locality have the highest youth population demographic in the region. 

• Considered ideal location for future Iconic facility within the Maroochydore Principal Activity Centre. 


Key Points 

• Short Term – Inform the Maroochydore Principal Activity Centre Structure of need within policy. 

• Long Term - Iconic facility recommended within Principal Activity Centre. Consider private partnership and cost 

recovery/economic stimulus strategies to support development and ongoing costs.

Key Points 

• Alexandra Skate Park is one of the most popular and publicly recognised skate parks in Queensland. Renowned 

for its crowds and idyllic location. 

• Preparation of the Master plan for the Alexandra Headlands Park, which includes the skate facility, is underway 

and will be informed by the Skate and BMX Facility Strategy. 

• Consultation revealed strong support for a proposed upgrade of Alexandra Headlands Skate Park. 

• High number of young people in the Mooloolaba- Alexandra Headlands and surrounding areas. 

• Existing facility experiences high level usage resulting in overcrowding. 

• According to users consulted, Alexandra Headlands is one of their favourite facilities due its location and one of 

their least favourite due to poor infrastructure design and maintenance. 

• Unique location has the potential to attract users from all over the Queensland and has the potential to attract 

regional - international skate/BMX events 

• The facility is a venue for the annual Home-grown youth festival and as such requires reconfiguring to meet 

festival requirements 

• Upgrades were strongly supported by Skateboarding Australia 

• Potential expansion issues due to the site being bounded by the coast and main road. 

• Future predicted sea-level rise may create erosion and flooding issues. 

• Alternative location in nearby location may allow greater development area for facility requirements. Consider 

Elizabeth Daniels Reserve. 


201


Key Points 

• Very high youth population base within and around this locality of interest. 

• Upgrade to major district facility to cater for demands within this and surrounding localities. 


Key Points 

• Immediate - 2010 Safety upgrade works scheduled before end of June. Replace northern guardrails coping, grind 

edge and some surface repairs to $25K. 

• Short Term – begin investigations and consultation regarding possible upgrade or relocation options for this 

facility. Possible relocation to Elizabeth Daniels Reserve could allow for a larger facility which also caters for large 

demands falling out of Buderim and Mountain Creek localities. 

• Medium Term - Upgrade or relocate to preferred location to major district facility – to support high number of youth, 

great accessibility and current overcrowding. Est $400K-$1M. Refer Volume 2 page 18-19 for embellishment 

considerations and asses against standards of service.

Key Points 

• High number of young people within locality 

• District skate and BMX facilities at Kawana and Alexandra Headlands service this locality. 

• Proposed district facility at Sippy Downs will create further skate and BMX opportunities for this locality. 


Key Points 

• Current population base warrants the provision of a facility, however this localities proximity to current and future 

major skate and BMX facilities in adjacent localities reduces the immediate need. A review is recommended. 


Key Points 

• No facility recommended – Mountain Creek sits between Alexandra Headland and Sippy Downs which are both 

proposed for district scale facilities. 

• Ongoing - Ensure good pathway connections exist from Mountain Creek to Alexandra Headlands and Sippy 

Downs facilities. Refer this recommendation to the Open Space Strategy. 

• Medium – Review alternative facility provision and this localities need.

Key Points 

• Nambour is a Major Activity Centre within the SEQRP. 

• The existing site is in close proximity (500m approx.) to public transport i.e. train station and bus interchange 

• Adequate space for expansion and has potential to form part of Place Making Project. 

• A skate facility may provide a demographic change tool to retain and attract young people to the area. 

• There is a high number (3,922) and representation (26.43%) of young people in Nambour with a moderate 

projected population growth of young people 5-24 years from 2009-2026. 

• Nambour Community Forum conducted as part of the Maroochy Shire Sports Strategy Plan Review 2004 identified 

that there is a feeling the hinterland areas are missing out as the focus is on larger regional areas. 

• Facility comments: drain blocked in the bowl & drainage poor throughout the park - Severe rust on the steel half 

pipe. Opportunity to resurface, add additional elements, replace bins and add artificial shade. 

• Facility has become a potential liability and requires new coping, the bitumen resurfaced, machine skate bowl 

surface, new half pipe, exposed aggregate apron around perimeter of skate facility. 



Key Points 

• Nambour is a focal hinterland activity centre and the provision of a district facility has been designated. 

209


Key Points 

• Immediate - minor works. Undergoing some redevelopment in 09/10. 

• Long term – consider upgrading to a major district facility. Est cost $250k – 500k

beginner to 



Key Points 

• Located adjacent Maleny/Kenilworth Road the facility consists of concrete skate bowl, launch pad and grind 

ledge, concrete seating ledges x 3, mini bowl, steel grind rail. Current access point is eroded; during rain will 

become muddy creating an access issue. 

• By providing more access point from alternative locations, it will create a safer and more inclusive environment. 

• A picnic table will provide a space for parent to site and observe comfortably. 

• Chips on bank with hip - grind ledge worn and concrete chipping underneath 

• Conondale appears isolated from any skate infrastructure. Kenilworth and Maleny are approx 15km +, however 

the population demographics and characteristics do not currently trigger an infrastructure response. 



Key Points 

• Although low youth population base this locality has the most isolated urban living area in the region and its 

relative catchment area appears to cater for rural residents up to 20km’s away. 

• Conondale is another isolated location but population figures do not currently support any future provision. 


Key Points 

• Short Term - Minor facility works required as described above. Est $5-10k. 

• Long Term – Review the need for minor infrastructure at Conondale.

• Rapid growth took place from the late 1990s, with the population increasing seven-fold between 1996 and 2006, a 

result of large numbers of new dwellings being added to the area, largely from the Chancellor Park estate in Sippy 

Downs. 


• Middle to low income area. Low income households accounted for 24.2% of total households compared with 21.1% 

for the Sunshine Coast Region. 

• A relatively young population with 25.5% aged between 0 and 17 years. Significant increases since 2001 have

Key Points 

• The Chancellor skate spines are unique in their design and linear elements and take the skate parks into the 

pedestrian and bike path networks. The spines offer users a variety of experiences that do not necessarily confine 

their use to the small spaces of typical skate parks. 

• 5,884 young people with the second highest percent (31.7%) of young people in the Region. 

• Major Palmview community emerging (17,000 people) in the future, potential for 5,500more young people. 


Windmill Park Neighbourhood Spot/Dot 

• Land runway after spines quarter is dangerous (very short and goes into dirt). 

231


• Erosion around quarter pipe and wedge bank platform and embankment. 


Key Points 

• Palmview major development area (est. 5,000 youth 5-24yrs) will require a district skate and BMX facility and this 

will compliment the current neighbourhood skate and BMX facilities. 

• A new district facility in this locality will also help to cater for demands extending out of neighbouring localities of 

Buderim and Mountain Creek. 


Key Points 

Windmill Park 

• Medium Term - Facility maintenance and minor upgrade required – provide more run up/landing space, provide 

additional elements. Est $5-20k 


• Short Term - Minor works required to inc concrete aprons around quarter pipe and wedge bank platform into 

facility, integrate some seating. Est $2-4k 

Palmview 

• Short Term – Inform Structure Plan and policy of the requirement for future facility. 

• Long Term - Recommended major district skate and BMX facility. Est $500k – $1M

Poor condition catering 

for beginner to 

advanced users. 


Key Points 

• No room for expansion. Priority works - Surface, coping, gaps in joints and under coping 

• Strong previous community support for the vert ramp. This ramp style can help to attract older and more 

experienced riders, which will provide positive role models for younger users and a level of user-management 

over the facility therefore assist in alleviating anti-social behaviour currently experienced. 

• Expression of interest from users surveyed includes the need to include street elements. 

• High number of young people in the Sunrise Beach - Marcus Beach - Castaways Beach area. 

• Supported by Skateboarding Australia. 



Key Points 

• This current facility services the district needs of this and the neighbouring localities of Noosa, Noosaville and 

Tewantin. 


Key Points 

• Medium Term - Facility maintenance and upgrades required – include street elements, repair cracks/joins, 

replace sections of damaged coping. Est $20-40k. Consider shade options.

BMX Race Track 

• The existing support infrastructure, amenities and landscaping is in disrepair making the facility uninviting. 

• Club Principle suggested Council’s financial support for a shade structure would be greatly appreciated. 

• Fire damage to toilets and broken entry fence. 

• Opportunities: Revamp into regional facility - reinvigorate existing infrastructure/facilities - identify opportunities to 

reinvigorate BMX club. Onsite shade would benefit the functionality. 

Skate Park 

• Yandina Skate Park provides 4 basic elements that create a facility that is simple in its function yet diverse in the

varying options available for skaters. The park caters for a high rate of skaters and BMX riders and has potential 

to expand to the west. BYO water. 

• Comparably high number of young people in Yandina - Yandina Creek & District area. 

• Medium to high level usage, particularly on weekends. 

• Gaps in joints where new work meets older concrete work - chipped concrete on certain joins 

• Would benefit from minor expansion and addition of skate elements 

• No toilets or seating on site.
