Tomorrow the vertical skate ramp from Victoria Street in Lismore will be transported by road to Nimbin, to a private property.
According to social media, the large structure will be carried on two trucks accompanied by four pilot vehicles, travelling via Nimbin Road between 11am and 1pm. The move was planned for today (Tuesday 27 February), but has been postponed to Wednesday.
Organisers say a permit has been obtained for this oversize transport operation, and ask that road users be cautious and patient while the ramps are on the move, as they will take up most of the road.
Lismore City Council has announced a major new skating facility to be built near Oakes Oval, as part of $4 million of funding from the NSW government, to be built to ‘Olympic standard’.
