Agnes Water Skate Park revitalisation project is ready to roll
Published on 15 December 2025
Construction on the $1.94M Agnes Water Skate Park Revitalisation project will commence from 2 February 2026 and is anticipated to be complete by late May 2026, subject to weather and site conditions.
The Skate Park, including playground and amenities, will close for the duration of the works, while a pedestrian detour will be in place on the footpath linking the park to Agnes Water State School.
Temporary fencing and screening will be put in place.
Council takes a sensitive approach to vegetation clearing and has undertaken environmental assessments of the area.
However, targeted removal of vegetation including some upper-storey trees and undergrowth is necessary.
A fauna spotter catcher will be on site during works. Vegetation will only be removed where necessary to enable the works and to ensure the safety of workers.
As part of Council’s Environment Policy, in undertaking the removal of trees, a revegetation plan is currently underway for new trees to be planted within the region.

Gladstone Region Mayor Matt Burnett said early engagement sessions helped Council and skate park consultants Convic to present a series of concept designs for the community to vote on with the preferred option now ready for construction.
“The preferred concept design was used to form the detailed design and now – with external funding secured via Round 1 of the Australian Government’s Growing Regions Program and statutory government approvals sorted – we are in a position to commence construction,” Mayor Burnett said.
“I want to thank the community’s patience while this exciting upgrade comes to life and look forward to seeing Agnes Water have a modern skate park suitable for skateboard, BMX and scooter riders across a range of skill levels.”

The $1.94M Agnes Water Skate Park Revitalisation project has been jointly funded by Australian Government’s Growing Regions Program – Round 1 ($971,850) and the Gladstone Regional Council ($971,850).
