Member for South Coast, Shelley Hancock has today announced that the Culburra Beach Progress Association has been awarded $50,000 from the New South Wales Government’s Community Building Partnership Program.
Mrs Hancock said the funding would be used to construct a brand new skate park on Curley’s Bay Reserve at Culburra Beach.
“I am delighted to announce that the NSW Government is going to contribute $50,000 towards this exciting project for the residents of Culburra Beach,” Mrs Hancock said.
“I’d like to congratulate the Culburra Beach Community for uniting together behind this project.” “I have been very impressed by the initiative shown by the young people from the Culburra Beach Youth Committee, who have been campaigning and fundraising for the skate park to go ahead,” Mrs Hancock said.
“The Committee has been very pro-active, organising fundraisers such as a ‘Mega Music Trivia Show’, ‘Canoe Paddle’ as well as a number of raffles which have been well supported by local business,” Mrs Hancock said.
The new park will replace the previous park, built on private land, which was demolished on the 25th July 2015.
“This really is going to be a wonderful addition to the Culburra Beach community and I look forward to seeing the project come to life in the new year,” Mrs Hancock said.
