Dubbo City Council in New South Wales have recently installed an agility track for the local dogs. All pieces have been designed to provide a great workout for both dog and handler, and Replas can customize varied layouts to suit each area and budget.

Each year, between May and September, divers descend on Whyalla in South Australia to experience nature at its best: the spawning migration of the Giant Australian cuttlefish.

However, for many years the divers have been complaining about the entry point at Point Lowly, claiming they have nowhere to prepare for the dive, sometimes damaging equipment whilst entering or exiting the water.

With this in mind, the City of Whyalla decided to do something about the problem and chose to build a boardwalk into the sea. After considering several products, the council decided to use Enduroplanks™ and Maritime bollards for their longevity, minimal maintenance and easy installation. As you can see, this project has been an outstanding success.

Brisbane City Council has been faced with a problem in the Mount Coot-tha Botanical Gardens for some time. The original bitumen pathway had been damaged by the park’s extensive tree root systems, requiring constant maintenance.

The solution was to use Replas Enduroplank™ decking, as it is flexible and allows for movement. The end result looks fantastic, and visitors can now enjoy a stroll in the garden for many years to come.

Cairns City Council, Queensland.

The council has recently refurbished their viewing platforms and boardwalks    at Devils Hole, Boulders. After Cyclone Larry left a trail of destruction through north Queensland last year, councils and the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service used long lasting Enduroplank™ to replace the destroyed timber.

Southern Grampians Shire Council, Victoria.

The Shire is committed to using recycled plastic for their outdoor furniture and bollards. The local rotary club has ordered several settings, which will be donated to the local community.

Gippsland Ports, Victoria.

Rutter’s Jetty in Gippsland has been refurbished with recycled plastic Enduroplank™ decking. The before and after photos speak for themselves. The Gippsland Ports Authority now recommends the use of Enduroplank™, as it requires very little ongoing maintenance.

Bayside City Council, Victoria.

Bayside City Council have placed 50 Trackmarker signs along the famous Beach Road, on the Port Phillip Bay. Recycled plastic was used instead of wood for many reasons – mainly because these Trackmarkers are price competitive, and will outlast the wooden alternative by many years.

Annandale State School, Queensland.

This school recently purchased recycled wheel stops and speed humps, as student safety became an issue with high levels of traffic in the area. The products have helped reduce the risk of injury, as the speed of passing cars is now reduced.

The Cathedral School of St Anne & St James, Queensland.

This school now has thirty recycled plastic tables and seats spread throughout the grounds. The school prides itself on sustainable environmental procurement; students, staff and parents all acknowledging the benefits that these products bring to the school, and committing themselves to future environmental solutions.

St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Queensland.

This Townsville school has created a functional break area for students to relax or study outdoors. The Big bench is a relatively new concept that many schools are now adopting, the large space allowing students to spread out their books or sit in groups. It combines a seat and table into one!

Carlyle Retirement Village, Queensland.

This retirement village is one of the largest in the area. During its development, two Kimberley seats were placed at the front of the village in a park environment, providing excellent seating for the residents to enjoy their surroundings.

Yanchep National Park, Western Australia.

For years, staff at this national park have been concerned about the materials being supplied and used in their wetland area. Recently, Replas' Enduroplank™ decking was installed for a crossover boardwalk.

The Enduroplanks™ are inert and have no issues where the environment is concerned – in fact, the council has saved many trees by using plastic that would have normally ended up in landfill.

The City of Belmont, Western Australia.

Recently, a number of Replas bollards have been installed at Faulkner Park. The local council is a great supporter of Replas products, particularly because of the substantial savings in maintenance due to the unique attributes of the plastic. They also happen to enjoy the natural look of the green bollards.

The City of Whitehorse, Victoria, have purchased four large 3.6 metre seats for their Forrest Hill Swimming Complex. Recycled plastic was chosen over metal and wooden seats, as the latter required constant maintenance due to chemicals used in the water.

Recycled plastic is not affected by water or the chemicals, and will prove to be a great, maintenance-free solution.

Melbourne's Bayside City Council required a bridge with an unusual request - it had to be out of sight, and hidden just below the water line.

With the use of Enduroplanks™, users can ‘walk on water’, as the bridge allows for easy access.

Metropolitan councils are not the only ones taking advantage of Replas' low-maintenance signage components. These signs have just been installed in Nimmitabe, New South Wales, and show that recycled plastic works with all kinds of architectural styles, from heritage to modern.

Lane Cove Municipal Council, New South Wales, are demonstrating their commitment to an environmentally sustainable future by replacing the rotten timber surrounding the Lucretia Baths in Longueville.

Tal Oswin from the council came in search of a product that would last much longer than the wooden structure, with far less maintenance. Replas used their profiles to create a great looking, long-term solution to the common problem of wood deterioration.

Take a look at the excellent terrace refurbishment around the Toowoomba Sports Ground!

Previously terracing was cut into the earth bank, however erosion over the years called for an urgent replacement. Rather than recut the bank, Toowoomba Council decided to build the terracing with Replas retaining panels.

Recycled plastic was the preferred choice over timber, concrete and brick options, as it’s extended lifespan and low maintenance costs were far less than the alternatives.

In the next few months, the entire sports ground will be re-terraced using Replas retainer panels ensuring comfortable, splinter-free seating for spectators.
