Council is inviting quotes for the purchase of the modular pump track. The purchaser will be responsible for dismantling and removing the pump track from its current location in Marrar.

While the pump track has been enjoyed by young people across the Shire, the resources required to transport, maintain and manage the equipment have made it difficult for Council to continue moving it between towns.

Council is now working towards the development of a new, permanent pump track in Ardlethan, adding to the existing pump tracks in Coolamon and Ganmain.

The mobile skate park will continue to travel between towns across the Shire.
