History

edit

The Bendigo Ice Skating Rink was opened in Golden Gully in 1986 and closed in 2012 after having financial problems. Its closure marked the end of the last facility of its kind in regional Victoria. In 2008 after the City of Greater Bendigo gave a $100,000 loan to the rink, councillor Rod Fyffe, who was the council's representative on the Bendigo Ice Skating Stadium Committee described the rink as a valuable asset that the community needed to keep alive.[3]
