Convic

Thank you to Chris Middap, our Lead Technical, who is celebrating his 15 year anniversary at Convic. Chris has been skateboarding for over 20 years, fuelling his passion for designing youth spaces and active recreation infrastructure. As a skilled skater and highly experienced designer, Chris has merged his meticulous design and construction knowledge developing internal processes that ensure both the design and construction teams continue to deliver high quality and iconic D&C outcomes.

Since having two kids, Chris’ kickflips my have slowed down, but his passion, care and attention to finding better and smarter ways to design and build skate parks hasn’t. Known to the team as “Rowdy”, he can be the quietest guy in the office but is always the one answering the most questions, sharing his knowledge and experience throughout the team, and teaching others about the finer details of design and build.

🛹 THE AGNES WATER SKATE PARK IS OPEN!

No official announcement from Gladstone Regional Council.

No media release.

No fanfare.

Not even a “Hey Agnes Water, your skate park is open.”

Just a quiet little… “it’s open.” 🤷‍♂️

In fact, Council’s own website still says the area is a construction site and closed to the public.

But the fences are down and the skate park is OPEN! 🎉

After months of construction and plenty of locals asking when it would finally open, you’d think someone might have mentioned it.

Anyway… now you know. 😄

🛹🛴🚲 Get on it, Agnes Water!

PS. Thanks to the construction crew, designers, and Council, this is a fantastic facility for our town.
