Do you offer playground installation outside Perth?
Yes. VRI installs play products across metropolitan Perth and regional Western Australia, from early learning centres to holiday parks. Outside WA, VRI supplies the products with installation drawings, and your own contractor installs them. VRI has national supply-only clients across every sector it serves.
What Australian standards does VRI's playground equipment comply with?
Which Australian standard is VRI playground equipment designed to? VRI play equipment is designed in accordance with AS 4685, the Australian Standard for playground equipment, where the standard applies. Seating, street furniture, outdoor fitness and dog agility sit outside AS 4685. Compliance audits and engineering certification can be arranged on request, and each product page lists its free height of fall.
What materials does VRI use for commercial playground equipment?
Mostly West Australian Jarrah hardwood (subject to availability) with a weather-resistant water-based oil finish, built together with steel and stainless steel components and UV-stabilised rope. VRI designs, builds and assembles each product in its O’Connor workshop in Perth. Jarrah is naturally termite and weather resistant, which suits public playgrounds that see years of use.
Can I view your product range before I enquire?
Yes. The full range is on the Products pages, with filters for play type, age, free height of fall and budget band. Each product page has an info sheet, a DWG file and a PNG file to download, and you can add pieces to one enquiry before you contact the team.
What types of organisations do you build playgrounds for?
Councils, schools, early learning centres and hospitality venues, including pubs, breweries, caravan and holiday parks and resorts. VRI also supplies shopping centres, health facilities, developers and landscape contractors, and has national supply-only clients across all of these. WA councils can buy VRI products through WALGA’s Parks and Gardens Panel (PSP010) without a public tender.
Does VRI design custom playgrounds, or only supply standard products?
Does VRI make custom playground equipment, or only standard products? Both. Most of VRI’s work is products from the range with small changes to suit a theme, such as colours, painted details and routed signs. VRI can customise to your brief, or build from a concept you’ve designed, starting from a piece in the range. VRI’s in-house design team can also prepare concepts and play-space layouts for your site, or VRI builds to your landscape architect’s or designer’s design.
How long does a typical playground installation take?
Timelines vary depending on project scope and complexity. A typical infill park playground installation in Perth runs approximately 4-8 weeks from design approval to completion, with larger or custom projects taking longer. We provide an indicative installation timeline during the quoting stage, and we have a strong track record of carefully coordinating install timing with our clients to suit their project schedule. Clear communication at every stage is central to how we work.
How much does a commercial playground installation cost in Perth?
It depends on the products and the scope. As a guide, VRI projects run from around $30,000 for a small early learning centre play area to $500,000 or more for a major council park with custom features. Each product shows a $ to $$$$$ budget band on the site, and VRI provides an itemised quote for your selection.
Can VRI supply playground equipment to the eastern states without installation?
Yes. VRI supplies commercial playground equipment Australia-wide as supply-only, with installation drawings so your contractor can install it. VRI has national supply-only clients across every sector it serves, and its play equipment is designed in accordance with AS 4685.
