Rocky Point Community Youth Precinct
Grant success for $3.3 million development
The Weipa Town Authority is thrilled to announce the township has been granted $3.3 million in funding from the Queensland Government under the Resources Community Infrastructure Fund for the Rocky Point Community Youth Precinct development.
Weipa Town Authority Chair Michael Rowland said the grant would deliver a vibrant public sport, recreation and youth space for the town.
“This project will create a modern, inclusive youth precinct and vibrant public space for the Weipa community,” Mr Rowland said.
“Works include upgrading the existing skatepark and cricket areas, installing new multi-function courts for ball sports, safe meeting spaces, amenities, pathways, lighting, landscaping and CCTV.
“It will also expand the skate and ride facilities and enhance the oval. When complete, the project will help to support a positive and healthy community and youth culture in Weipa by providing new sport and recreation opportunities and a safe place to make connections and have fun.”
