Update October 2020
Since February 2020, the design team have been further investigating the site conditions, which has identified significant site restrictions, including:
• 1.5m of uncontrolled fill present on the site
• Significant and regulated trees
• Expected contamination
• South Australia Power Networks and SA Water services
• Gradient and sloping site
To mitigate these restrictions they will:
• Remove and treat 1.5m of material from the site and put it back in compacted layers
• Retain all significant and regulated trees on site
• Address any contamination issues
• Maintain the integrity of existing power and water services at the site
CONCEPT DESIGN
The concept design is now complete: it sets out a vision for an inviting and family friendly City Skate Park that will cater for a range of disciplines and skill levels, and it will be a stand out destination within South Australia's skate park network.
The concept design, which considers the site constraints listed above and the feedback received through the consultation, is built around 6 key principles:
1. Trees: celebrate and maximise views
2. Working with topography & slope
3. Separate skate zones & skill levels
4. The plaza ‘centre piece’
5. Pathways + pocket parks
6. Vibrant + permeable spectator stations
Following the completion of the concept design and in order to meet expectations for the commencement of site works as soon as possible, detailed design is currently underway
and it is anticipated that works will commence on site by the end of 2020.
