COUNCIL MINUTESTUESDAY 26 JUNE 2012CR12.89PERRY LAKES SKATE PARK - REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSALPURPOSE OF REPORT:To seek Council's support to develop concept designs to inform the proposed redevelopment ofPerry Lakes Skate Park.BACKGROUND:Constructed in April 2001, Perry Lakes Skate Park is situated within Alderbury Reserve, colocatedwith outdoor sporting fields. The design of the skate park includes quarter pipessurrounding two central "funboxes". The facility is well patronised by skateboarders, BMX andscooter riders.Over the past two years the need to redevelop Perry Lakes Skate Park has been identifiedthrough a petition raised by Skate Park users and subsequent consultation workshopsconvened by the Town. In addition, a petition was also received by Council on 28 April 2010requesting an outdoor basketball court be included in the possible redevelopment of PerryLakes Skate Park, which Council subsequently supported.In January 2012, the Town commissioned Convic Design Pty Ltd to undertake an assessmentof the Perry Lakes Skate Park and facilitate a consultation workshop with users to confirmneeds and opportunities for redevelopment. Convic are a Melbourne based consultancyspecialising in skate park design and construction, safety auditing and feasibility assessment.The Skate Park Assessment Report found Perry Lakes Skate Park to be an aging facility but ina reasonable condition with a number of minor repairs required. It also confirmed the designdoes not cater for beginner and advanced users. The opportunity to upgrade and/or expandthe current facility, incorporating an outdoor basketball court, was further investigated at a usergroup consultation workshop on 22 February 2012, and through an online user survey.This research has informed a 'design vision' that would see Perry Lakes Skate Park developedinto a regional skate park facility with an expanded variety of skate elements catering for arange of skating abilities, competitions and events. However, before the project can progress,there is a need to develop cost alternative concept design options for the upgrading andextension of the skate park.It is estimated the total cost of preparing three separate concept designs of differing scale andbudget is $25,000. Consequently, an allocation of $25,000 has been included in the 2012/13Draft budget.DETAILS:1. Assessment of the Existing FacilityThe Perry Lakes Skate Park is 11 years old and is half way through its expected lifespan. Arecently completed assessment of the existing facility by Convic Design Pty Ltd found thefacility to be well patronised and often overcrowded by users. It also detailed a number ofrepairs as well as some design flaws that need to be addressed.H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\12 MINUTES\JUNE 2012\C CR.DOCX 144
