Consultation has concluded
The Margaret River Youth Precinct is undergoing a major redevelopment with over $2 million dollars of improvements planned for the site. This major transformation will see an expansion of skate, scooter and BMX facilities within the park as well as the addition of a new raised stage area for music events, parkour and play equipment, BBQ areas, shade, landscaping, spectator seating, public toilets and much more.
Thanks to Margaret River Lions, Lotterywest, community contributions and the Shire of Augusta Margaret River for making it possible to bring nationally acclaimed facilities to our region.
It’s thanks to Lotterywest retailers like the Margaret River Newsagency and Augusta Newsagency that we’re able to make this happen!
