Redland City Council awarded the contract to Concrete Skate Park Co. Pty Ltd on 24 September 2026, according to its published register of awarded tenders and contracts.
The project will give one of Alexandra Hills’ established recreational facilities an upgrade, with the new elements intended to offer more variety for riders and accommodate different stages of skill development.
Existing skate bowl to get repairs and new features
The refurbishment will involve more than repairing worn sections of the existing skate bowl.
Council’s original tender called for a contractor to assess and repair the bowl while incorporating additional skate park elements that would broaden participation and provide opportunities for riders to develop different skills.
The project also includes replacing existing seating and undertaking associated improvements to refresh the park’s appearance.
Although the tender outlines the general scope, detailed designs showing the number, type and positioning of the new skating elements have not been confirmed in the publicly available information reviewed.
The contract was awarded at an estimated value of $272,448, including GST and any provisional items. The figure appears in Council’s 2026–27 project delivery contracts register.

Why the upgrade matters for local riders
Windemere Road Park is among the established skate and ramp facilities serving Redlands Coast residents, particularly those living in Alexandra Hills and nearby suburbs.
Council’s recreational facilities directory identifies the park as suitable for intermediate to advanced users of bicycles, skateboards and inline skates.
For local riders, the proposed additions could provide more variety within an existing facility rather than requiring them to travel elsewhere to practise different techniques.
The replacement seating may also improve the experience for parents, carers and other visitors who accompany younger riders or spend time watching activities at the park.
Importantly, the project is intended to retain and improve the existing skate bowl rather than simply replace it with an unrelated recreational facility.
Upgrade follows earlier planning for the park
The refurbishment also has a longer planning history.
Redland City Council’s Open Space Strategy identified the skate bowls at Windemere Road Park as facilities that could accommodate both skateboarding and BMX riding.
The strategy referred to recommendations in the Redland City Ramp Park Strategy 2008 for extending and upgrading the Alexandra Hills facility.
The newly awarded contract represents a concrete step towards improving a recreational space previously identified in Council’s broader planning documents.
While the earlier strategy establishes the history of proposed improvements, the current refurbishment has its own tender and contract arrangements.
Construction dates and access arrangements still to be confirmed
For residents who regularly use the skate bowl, the main outstanding questions concern when construction will begin and whether the facility will remain accessible during the works.
The published contract award confirms that a contractor has been selected, but does not establish a construction commencement date, completion timetable or temporary closure arrangements.
There is also no confirmed public schedule identifying when the new skating elements will become available for use.
Residents planning to visit Windemere Road Park can check Council’s official recreational facilities information and any subsequent works notices for changes affecting access.
