Please join us for our next Playspace Technical Tour on Thursday, 23 April, with the bus leaving from Bob Gordon Reserve in Bull Creek at 9am. This guided tour will showcase a series of outstanding playspaces across the local government areas of City of Canning, City of Gosnells, and City of Melville.
At every location, attendees will hear directly from the designer, manufacturer, or installer involved in delivering the project. These presentations will provide behind-the-scenes insight into the design intent, material selection, compliance considerations, construction methodology, and unique challenges encountered throughout the process.
This event provides a unique platform for professional learning, networking, and industry discussion in an informal, on-site setting. Whether you are involved in planning, designing, delivering, or maintaining public play spaces, this tour will offer inspiration, technical insight, and valuable peer engagement.
