A report on the new Newcastle Beach skate park said to have been found in a skip bin has given the worst possible rating to the project condition just weeks out from its completion.

City of Newcastle contractor Daracon says all of the priority issues identified in the Newcastle Beach Skatepark Assessment Report, including more than 50 cases of concrete chipping and cracking, had been addressed.
