Central Coast Council have partnered with the YMCA to run the Australian Skateboarding League’s NSW State Qualifier 2019 event at BATO Yard, Bateau Bay on Saturday 19 January.

Being Australia’s premier nationwide, amateur skateboarding series, the Australian Skateboarding League showcases and provides an opportunity to some of the country's best up-and-coming skaters.

Central Coast Mayor Jane Smith said this event is a win for our community and provides the perfect opportunity for our local skaters to test their skills and step into the world of professional skateboarding.

“Securing this event at BATO Yard demonstrates the high quality of this facility and promotes active lifestyles and youth development for our community”, said Mayor Smith.

“It also demonstrates that when Council establishes effective partnerships we can create great opportunities for our growing community.”
