Council ‘ollies’ over next stage of Agnes Water Skate Park redesign

Gladstone Regional Council is set to improve a popular piece of community infrastructure at Agnes Water, thanks to funding under Round 1 of the Australian Government’s Growing Regions Program.

The $1.94M Agnes Water Skate Park Revitalisation project is progressing with the next steps to involve site investigation works and detailed design phase.

The detailed design for the project is based on the concept design which was endorsed by Council and developed through extensive consultation with the community and stakeholders.

Gladstone Regional Council Mayor Matt Burnett said that construction commencement will be dependent on completion of the detailed design and receival of any required statutory government approvals.

“At this stage, the timeline for construction is anticipated to commence during the 2025/26 financial year,” Councillor Burnett said.

“We appreciate the community's patience while we progress through the project's next steps, but once complete, Agnes Water will have a fit for purpose skate facility that is safe, modern and suits a range of skill levels for skateboards, BMX and scooters.

“We will share more updates on this exciting upgrade when the project moves closer to construction.”

The $1.94M Agnes Water Skate Park Revitalisation project has been jointly funded by Australian Government’s Growing Regions Program – Round 1 ($971,850) and the Gladstone Regional Council ($971,850).
