The finer details of a revamped velodrome at Cooks Gardens are being nailed down.
Barry Copeland from Copeland Associates Architects was in Whanganui last week to inspect the site again and meet the Regional Velodrome Roofing Team.
The architect of the proposed stretched-membrane roof was looking at the make-up of the inside of the track, details such as lighting and making the structure breathable. A speed skating track has now been proposed along with a middle that could host concerts, displays and exhibitions.
"In terms of facilities, we're looking at only providing essentials," Mr Copeland said.
Whanganui District Council chief executive Kym Fell met with Mr Copeland to discuss the durability of the roof and what maintenance would be required.
