Playsafe Playground Reports
Playcentre Aotearoa has commissioned Playsafe to complete playground inspections in order to allow us to ascertain what health and safety issues and maintenance needs are to be completed at each Playcentre. These reports allow us to prioritise works at each Centre in line with the Playcentre Aotearoa prioritisation process. All works that are able to be undertaken at an individual Playcentre level will be communicated to that particular Playcentre. We do not send these reports out to the Playcentres due to the undue stress it puts on Centres and the Property Team to complete works that are not a priority at this point in time. This also allows us to keep on top of resourcing and budgeting within the Playcentre Aotearoa Property Team.

Thinking of Creating a Veggie Garden at Your Playcentre, or Even at Home?
Heating a Playcentre
Are you struggling to get your Playcentre heated to 18 degrees, as per licencing requirements? If so, please contact askproperty: [email protected].
Building Check
If you notice any recent damage to the exterior of your building, in the first instance please notify
[email protected]. Please include images and details of the damage.
Property FAQ
FAQ are available on the website, Property FAQ’s | Playcentre/. These are updated as new questions are asked.
If you have had situations at your centre that you think other centres may appreciate knowing, please let us know at [email protected] and we can arrange for them to be added to the FAQ page of the Playcentre website.
Property Maintenance Records
Ensure that you keep a property folder with records of all maintenance you have completed at your Centre and who completed it. This should include bark and sand top ups with a record of the amount required, total cost, and the contractor who supplied/completed it. Property and playground checklists should also be kept in this folder. This will help members with future maintenance.
Property Projects
Playcentre Aotearoa ask that all centres email the admin team: [email protected] at the very start of a project when you are initially thinking about undertaking any project. This information will then be distributed to the appropriate property team member who may be in touch to discuss any potential support or issues, guidance and advice that may be identified by the team. This is for both playcentre funding assisted projects and non-playcentre funded projects. This includes building and playground projects. This could prevent costly mistakes!
