Kiah Place – Playground equipment renewal
This playground was installed in 1996 and is far beyond its nominal useful life of 10 years. Steel components were repainted in 2015 but the critical elements have now reached end of life.

Maidstone ticket box renewal
Supply and install a new ticket box suitable for the Maidstone Park facility, providing two serving windows and one access door.
