Consultation has concluded
Thank you for your feedback on the question of whether events should be held at Marina Reserve during the February - April community consultation.
Following the consultation we presented your feedback to Councillors in an open public meeting on 26 May where it was agreed that Port Phillip Council will ask the State Government to allow events to be held at Marina Reserve.
The decision, agreed at the Council meeting, follows a successful trial junior skating competition in March at the St Kilda skate park and also extensive community consultation.
Below is a summary of feedback we have received:
- A total of 850 surveys were completed, including 136 local residents door knocked, 363 before and after on-site surveys, 120 surveys during the event and 231 online surveys.
- Overall 72.4 per cent of people surveyed supported events being held at Marina Reserve. Local resident support increased to 80.9 per cent (from 75 per cent) after a family-friendly skate event was held.
Next steps
Port Phillip Council will ask the State Government to allow events to be held at Marina Reserve. If State planning permission is granted, Council can then consider permitting Council endorsed skate lesson programs in school holidays and events which meet our Outdoor Events Policy.
