Playground Audits & AS4685 Compliance for Local Councils
Local councils have a compliance obligation to maintain safe playgrounds, with direct implications for public liability and community safety.
Professional playground audits and AS4685 inspections ensure Australian Safety Standards are met, risks are clearly identified, and appropriate documentation is in place to support governance and compliance requirements.
Play Force delivers certified playground inspections for councils, providing detailed, standards-based reporting across public parks, reserves and community spaces.

Certified AS4685 Playground Inspections for Public Spaces
Play Force delivers certified playground inspections aligned with AS4685 and relevant Australian Standards, performed by qualified inspectors experienced in public infrastructure and community assets. Our team understands public asset management requirements — consistent documentation, risk mitigation and detailed reporting — and supports councils across project sizes, from single sites to large playground portfolios delivered efficiently across multiple locations.
What's Included in a Council Playground Audit
Ongoing Inspection & Maintenance Scheduling
A regular inspection schedule supports both compliance and long-term asset performance.
Annual playground audits aligned with AS4685 requirements can be supported by periodic inspections, such as quarterly or post-maintenance checks. Consistent inspection cycles allow councils to identify issues early, prioritise maintenance works and reduce long-term costs associated with asset deterioration or reactive repairs.
Play Force can work alongside internal teams and contractors to support ongoing maintenance planning and implementation.
Our Inspection Process
Our inspection process is designed to be consistent, efficient and scalable across multiple sites.
This approach allows Play Force to meet the needs of councils with multiple playgrounds.
We coordinate scheduling to optimise site coverage, minimise disruption and align with council requirements.
Each inspection follows a structured approach, ensuring clear communication, compliance, reporting and long-term asset management.
