a. Priorities for maintenance are based on the routine visual and operational inspections. Operational inspections involve inspecting playgrounds for faults and maintenance issues. These faults/issues are then risk assessed and prioritised for repair through the level of risk they present to those using the playground.
b. Upgrade priorities are determined primarily by the results of an annual Level 3 comprehensive audit on all existing playgrounds that assess the playground against current Australian Standards. The audit results may change annually dependent on asset deterioration or vandalism and changes to the playground standards. The 2017 Level 3 comprehensive audit is still in progress.
(7) The features of future upgrade work is yet to be determined as the 2017 Level 3 comprehensive audit is still in progress.
(8) 26 playgrounds have been constructed in the past five years, as shown at Attachment A.
(9) All playgrounds will be inspected at least fortnightly as part of the operational inspections and any maintenance issues will addressed as they arise. The location(s) for playground upgrades is subject to the results of the 2017 (and future) playground audit and outcomes of future ACT Budgets.
