Insomniajosh1 Mar 2013Draft sketches of Fawkner in a few weeks. Brunswick is still waiting for 100% confirmation of funding, which is very close to being finalised
Brunswick Skatepark 2013
Insomniajosh1 Mar 2013a brick hip thing like the one at armpit and a bump to fire hydrant. also why don't you make something in the park to honour lewis marnell??just and idea/suggestion
Insomniajosh2 Mar 2013All great ideas. A Lewis thing would be great. The Neilo in the Coburg tiles is a tribute to a lost ripper.
Yeah. someone would know what his fav park/street spot/obsticle is was and we could put that in the park
'How about getting elements from other citys that arent that common in Melbourne like a bump over hydrant with a red curb next to it.'
Yes!
Any word on this? Recently moved back to Brunswick so I'm hyped!

Insomniajosh2 May 2013There is a different kinda take on a pole jam mr Larson. I like jamish's idea too. Could be a fitting tribute to the late Mr Marnell
Insomniajosh30 May 2013G'day,
The budget has been released and it has the commitment from the state Gov ($100,000) but it has removed the $400,000 from Moreland council. The $100,000 was granted subject to the council commitment, so there is effectively no money.
What do we do?
Well the best way to go about it is to lobby the council. Write your feedback to the link below. I have copy/pasted my Hi,
Upon reading the budget I am disapointed to see the lack of funding for a skate facility. I can see the state gov has allocated $100,000, but there is no budget allocation from the council. In my experience this funding is usually committed based upon significant council contribution. It feels as though the council is selling our youth and community short.
In my 25 years experience I have seen the positive impact youth facilities have had on young people. As a former youth worker and coach (with over 1000 hours of proffessional skateboard coaching experience) I appreciate the value that these facilities bring to the community, families and indivuduals.
$100,000 will not be enough to build anything of significance, let alone a quality facility. Previously, a commitment was proposed for $400,000 from council and $100,000 from SRV. This would see a world class facility with the opportunity for events with a global reach. This would give scope for putting Brunswick on the world stage, showcasing the arts, culture and youth hub that Brunswick has become.
I look forward to your thoughts on the matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me via email or phone **********

Any news at all, Josh?
Insomniajosh13 Sept 2013Yep a bit of news from Alli.......
I’ve put out the tender for design, closes tomorrow. I’ve had a fair bit of interest which is good.
Yes, only $100,000 for this financial year. The plan is to do all consultation, design & documentation and tender the construction before end of June 14.
Given that SRV gave the funding on the basis that Council will fund the balance, I believe Council can’t defer the funding again. Meaning it must be funded in 2014-15, so if all goes to plan we will be able to commence construction in July 2015.
At this stage we are planning on a total of $500,000 including design fees,
