The VSA are excited to have received a West Gate Neighbourhood Fund Grant to promote skateable spaces in Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong that will support our local community.
The funding will go toward significantly increased skateboarding participation and community connection in Newport, Laverton, Altona Meadows, Fooscray, Maidstone, and Yarraville. This initiative goes beyond the skate park with All Aboard pop-ups at suitable council-approved locations in some of the skatepark-less parts of both municipalities.
The West Gate Neighbourhood Fund is a Victorian Government initiative that is helping not-for-profit organisations in Melbourne’s inner west to support their communities while the West Gate Tunnel Project is being built.
