Hello and welcome to our first newsletter for this decade! 2020 is poised to be another exciting year for Playscape Creations, and we cannot wait to deliver countless adventure and aquatics community assets that improve the lives of children, families and communities.

Our team has hit the ground running with several projects under construction; John French Memorial Park, Bowman Park and Carvers Reach to name just a few!
We are also excited to announce that we will be working in collaboration with JMac Constructions to deliver two extraordinary play spaces as part of the 'The Mill' project located at Petrie, QLD for Moreton Bay Regional Council. As part of the redevelopment, we will be delivering a bespoke adventure playground which will be filled with lots of fun and exploration as well an aquatics splash park. Both projects pay homage to the history of the Paper Mill and bring to life key historical details of the region through innovative custom designs. | |

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT Flagstone Water Park | |
| |
| |
| |
2019 was filled with a buzz of excitement for our team and project clients Urbis, PEET Limited and Logan City Council with the construction of Flagstone Water Park. Inspired by magical treehouses from our childhood, the design team collaborated over more than 400 design hours to create an innovative 'Raintree' concept.
The scale of this space must be experienced to be appreciated; the central raintree stands at over 10m high and reaches 10m wide; fitted with two intense discharge buckets, a rainfall curtain surrounding the canopy and water cannons to encourage multi-level play. A further two raintrees decorate the site, providing quieter opportunities for younger children with cherry inspired tipping buckets and over 20 ground sprays.

GETTING BEHIND THOSE IN NEED Bush Fire Relief | |
| |
| |
It has been a difficult start to the year for many Australians as bushfires have swept through our communities. Our thoughts go out to all the people and wildlife that have been affected, as well as the first responders and volunteers that have been on the frontline. | |
As fellow Queenslanders return to bushfire-affected homes and contemplate rebuilding, you can make their job easier by joining the QBCC’s Bushfire Rebuild Register.
You can add your business details to the online register, where homeowners can search for suitably-qualified and licensed contractors to assist them during this trying time. | |
| |
During this tough time, both our local and global communities are looking for ways to help. Together, we can unify to help those in need. If you would like to help those impacted by the Australian bushfires, please consider donating to the Australian Red Cross’ Disaster Relief & Recovery Fund. | |
