Chief Minister Jon Stanhope MLA spoke about how good it was to have one of these marvellous facilities in Canberra and thanked Minister Albanese for the Federal Government funding.
Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government The Hon Anthony Albanese, MP (on the right) congratulated all involved in getting to this point and talked about the Nation Building Program creating jobs in these uncertain times.
Canberra Skateboarding Association president Luke Brown coped very well being put on the spot by media, with no time to prepare.
An tour of the site was organised where we were able to show plans of what a fantastic facility that will be to Minister Albanese.
The project had good coverage on WIN news last night. Luke Brown and Lea Durie were also interviewed on ABC local radio yesterday where Luke was very articulate and Lea wished she was.
And while building continues we have our first day of wet weather, which will slow things up unfortunately, but not for long.
And this week we start planning the official opening for the beginning of November and are still keen to hear your ideas. Do you want a comp, a clinic, both, know of a good band to play etc etc?

Great to see the media coverage.
In regards to the opening; I think a demo (mainly local rippers and some key interstate sponsored riders(skate and bike), bands, and other activities that show off the whole youth plaza (and includes the various organisations that can benefit from the new facility.
