Why? Because today is the day we OFFICIALLY SAVED VIC PARK BOWL!
Thank you Mayor Karen Vernon for your decision and correspondence:
“Dear Luke, I am writing to you as the creator of the online petition through change.org to Save Vic Parks Original skate bowl at McCallum Park.
Our council met on Tuesday 22nd of October to decide the award of a tender construction of our new skatepark. Although we did not receive your petition prior to that meeting, The Town Of Vic Park staff advised our council that an online petition was underway.
After debate, our council RESOLVED TO RETAIN the existing skate bowl as part of the redevelopment project including of a bigger skate park and facilities.
Thankyou for bringing the importance of the original skate bowl to our attention.
