The Redlands Coast community is invited to have its say on the future of the city’s skateparks during the Rolling in Redlands Coast engagement period, which runs until 22 October 2026.
Feedback provided by the community during the engagement period will be used to inform a new strategic plan for the future of skateparks across Redlands Coast.
Acting Mayor Julie Talty said there were a range of opportunities for the community to get involved, including a special youth-focused coaching clinic scheduled for Mount Cotton Community Park in the school holidays.
“This is an exciting opportunity for families and young skate enthusiasts, with the clinic to be led by pro-skateboarder Tommy Fynn and a second qualified coach on Saturday 3 October,” she said.
“The community can also have their say at two mid-week feedback sessions scheduled in Wellington Point and Redland Bay, as well as through an online survey on Council’s Your Say page until 22 October.
“The engagement is open to anyone interested in the future of skateparks on Redlands Coast, from regular users and competitive skaters to parents, carers, and the broader community.”
Sport and Recreation Portfolio Representative Councillor Jason Colley said he was pleased that the community would be actively involved in shaping the new plan.
“This project recognises the growing popularity of sports such as skateboarding and the important role that skateparks play as community spaces where people can get active and socialise,” he said.
“To ensure the future strategic plan is as comprehensive as possible, we want to hear about how often people are using our skateparks, what they think of the current infrastructure, how they travel to these locations, and their aspirations for the future.”

Registrations for the free Mount Cotton Community Park clinic on 3 October are essential and can also be booked through the Your Say page.
