The council had shelved plans for the skate park in 2020, however acting general manager Peter Porch said that had been in response to its timing financially.

"We've adopted a long-term financial plan and we're now in the position to support the community goal and ambition to get it built," Mr Porch said.

"We're now working through the statutory process."

The development proposes a skate park to be built on the public foreshore reserve, opposite the United Service Station on the Tasman Highway.

The Glamorgan Spring Bay Council is a leasee of the land owned by the Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania.

Mr Porch said the council understood there had been strong community support for the development for many years.

Once the deadline for community feedback is closed, it is expected the application would go before the council acting as the planning authority.
