Concept finalised

We know you have been waiting for a look at the revised plans and are pleased to say they are here. Please take time to read the last sheet which outlines where all your comments have been incorporated - we are sure you will be amazed at all the little and big changes that have been made.

In response to local skaters and riders input the concept now includes a bowled end with escalating wall, deeper bowl depths at the center of the flow area and quarter pipe/flat bank returns at each end of the street course area.

We do still have a way to go to resolve the final design with the biggest issue fitting the design to our budget while including all the aspects of a youth facililty we have discussed. The design is being costed in more detail at the moment and this will help us to make some decisions on what we can include over the next couple of weeks.

The plans will be up here at a better resolution straight after easter.

In the meantime we welcome further feedback via this blog or emailed to lea.durie@act.gov.au.

Project Manager Appointed

It has been a little quiet here, however, there has been much activity behind the scenes.

Manteena have been appointed to project manage the detail design and construction of the youth space. Manteena have completed many projects in Canberra including a large proportion of open space work. We are excited to have them on board for this project.

Convic have been working on the final concept plans and we should have them today. The plans will be posted as soon as they are available. Further comments are welcome.

We are also trying to evaluate if having a project blog is a valuable tool for consultation and information sharing. It is a bit hard to determine as we haven't been getting comments on the blog - but are getting quite a number of visits. We are receiving a number of comments via direct email. To work out if people are finding the blog useful we need feedback. Please leave a comment here or if you prefer email lea.durie@act.gov.au.
