About the project.
Port Melbourne Skatepark (also known as Graham Street Skatepark) is located in Port Melbourne underneath the Graham Street overpass. Due to age and general wear from use, the current skate facilities are approaching the end of their useful life.
Following community consultation in 2016, we committed to upgrading this space to improve our community's access to quality recreational facilities, and to improve connections through and around the site. In 2020, we received $250,000 of grant funding from Sport and Recreation Victoria to support these works.
In February 2024, we reconnected with the community to ensure we were delivering a facility that meets our community's expectations. We have now developed a draft design that reflects the diversity of the community members who use the park. We engaged a specialist team of consultants led by Grind Projects Pty Ltd, with design involvement from Playce Pty Ltd and Baseplate.
We're committed to creating a vibrant and inclusive space for all, and we look forward to your feedback on the draft design.
Please note that there are numerous third-party assets in this area. We have been working through the relevant approval processes with the contractor and these asset owners to satisfy these requirements, however some amendments to the proposed design maybe required. Some features may be unable to be included or implemented.
