Community Update: Playground Inspections

As part of Council’s ongoing commitment to community safety and responsible asset management, independent inspections and testing are regularly undertaken across Council’s playgrounds.

Given Roxby Downs remote location and extreme heat, Council places additional focus on playground assets, as local environmental conditions can accelerate wear and deterioration of equipment and impact surfaces.

Recent findings have been assessed through Council’s established risk-management processes and summarised in a report to the Audit and Risk Committee, which is publicly available on Council’s website.

Appropriate controls are being implemented. Any equipment or areas assessed as not fit for continued use will be isolated, temporarily closed or removed from service until the identified risk has been addressed. Safe and serviceable areas will remain available for community use.

Community safety remains Council’s priority, and identified issues will be addressed in a planned and timely manner, with the highest-risk items attended to first.
