The south coast community can have a say on potential development of a junior scooter and/or skate facility in the Victor Harbor area.

The City of Victor Harbor is interested in hearing ideas about the best location for the park or track, possible design ideas, who the facility should cater for, and desired amenities for the park.

The council aims to build an inclusive and engaging city for young people to thrive in. 

This includes public facilities that specifically cater to young people, like scooter and skate tracks, which can help to encourage socialisation, exercise and wellbeing.

There are already scooter, skate and bike amenities in the council area, but a new junior skate facility would potentially complement existing facilities and provide a safe, challenging and fun place for younger riders to enjoy.

Feedback and suggestions from the community will help the council gauge interest in a junior skate facility and initiate planning for a potential park or track that can provide genuine benefit to youth in the community. 

Information gathered during this consultation will help the council develop a concept design for the junior skate facility and apply for funding.

Anyone interested in the future of outdoor recreation is encouraged to complete the survey, including those who do participate in scooter riding, skateboarding, and bike riding, and those who do not.

Council will also conduct drop-in sessions at local schools to engage the younger community in this stage. 

Community consultation is open until 5pm on Friday 23 April via the City of Victor Harbor website. 

Hardcopy feedback forms can also be obtained from the Civic Centre on 1 Bay Road, Victor Harbor.
