Have your say about Foster's future skatepark. As part of council's commitment to provide socially inclusive spaces that provide health and wellness benefits for the region, council has engaged CONVIC to design a new skatepark in Foster. As a part of this process CONVIC will collaborate with residents and undertake community consultation to develop a concept design for the facility. To share your thoughts, visit Survey Monkey website.

South Gippsland Shire Council and CONVIC are designing Foster's new skatepark with community collaboration and consultation

Leongatha Hall upgrade

The Leongatha Memorial Hall project will consider the feasibility of updating the Heritage-listed Hall to improve access and functionality and consider the potential for a broad range of community uses. The adjoining public toilets and adjacent streetscape will also be included as part of the project.

Council is seeking input from community members who currently use the hall and adjoining precinct, and those who would like to use the space in the future. There are three ways you can have your say.

Join the workshop on 10 April 2025 or submit your feedback before the survey closes on Sunday 13 April 2025
