Playground aligned with the school’s ethos

KOMPAN was approached by the Victorian School Building Authority to provide a playground that would encourage enrolments at the newly opened Kurmile Primary School. The idea behind the playground was to support education and development both inside the classroom and outdoors. The school was designed to be environmentally sustainable and easy to manage and maintain, and this needed to be reflected in the solution.

"We're really looking at creating that safe and inclusive space where our students can be supported but challenged to really step out of their comfort zone. We know that's where great learning and growth happens."

The outcome? An exciting playground made from recycled materials

KOMPAN delivered a playground featuring a statement piece, Sensory Dome, towers, slides, carousels, and more that allow the students to experience and engage in high quality play. The implementation of rope climbing playground equipment helps students develop climbing skills, balance, coordination, and strength. Overall, the playground helps develop physical, cognitive, creative, and social skills among the students, allowing for an environment in which kids can learn outside the classroom.

The customer was delighted with the process from start to end, and the students are thrilled with their new industry-leading playground equipment.

What steps were involved in this project?

After receiving the enquiry, our local expert arranged a site visit to meet with the customer. During the visit, they assessed the space, discussed the customer’s vision, and provided professional guidance on the best solutions to meet their needs.

Once we had gathered all the necessary details, our team carefully crafted a bespoke design that aligned with the customer's vision. Every element was thoughtfully considered to ensure the design not only met their functional and aesthetic requirements but also stayed within budget.

A mutually convenient installation date was agreed with the customer, ensuring minimal disruption. Once finalised, all equipment was carefully delivered, and comprehensive safety measures were put in place to protect the public and maintain a secure working environment. With everything in place, our expert installation team got to work.

The project was successfully completed within the agreed timeframe. Once the installation was finalised, our experienced inspection team conducted a thorough safety inspection, carrying out detailed checks on all equipment, surfacing, and structural elements. This rigorous process ensured that the site met all industry standards and safety regulations.

Watch as families enjoy and explore their brand-new outdoor space.
