Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, said the new facilities are an important addition for Tatura.

“These spaces give young people, families and the wider community a place to connect, be active and enjoy time together. The Dunk & Skate event is an opportunity for residents to come along, try out the new facilities and celebrate what this investment means for Tatura,” he said.

Cr Rod Schubert, Midland Ward, said the new Skate Park and Basketball Court will be a great asset for the town.

“The Skate Park and Basketball Court provide a safe, inclusive space for young people to enjoy sport and recreation locally. It is fantastic to see Tatura gain facilities that will encourage active lifestyles and give our youth more opportunities right here in their own community,” he said.

The event is supported by Reclink Australia, Goulburn Valley Water and Council’s Activities in the Park program.
