Blackwater residents will soon be riding at the town’s own skate park with construction set to start in February.
Central Highlands Regional Council revealed on Thursday the project would begin towards the end of the month.
Final construction plans were revealed to Community Reference Group members this week and included slight changes from the initial concept, with extended shade shelters, additional seating and wider footpath areas.
The project tender was awarded to Queensland-based specialist skate park builder VFG Skateparks Pty Ltd.

The Queensland Government provided $1 million towards the project through the Active Community Infrastructure Grant program, to enable Queenslanders to participate in sport and recreation activities.
