No Secrets: Here’s Where We Source Our Raw Materials from in Australia

At Moduplay, we’re all about transparency. As a proudly Australian-made and owned company, we’re committed to supporting local industries and showcasing the best of what Australia has to offer. With each piece of playground and fitness equipment, we stand by quality, sustainability, and our community. Let’s take you on a journey through the raw materials that make up our products and the values behind each choice.

Why Local Sourcing Matters

Sourcing our materials from within Australia means more than just reducing our environmental footprint. It’s about building relationships with local suppliers, ensuring stringent quality standards, and giving back to our community. We’re proud of each step in our supply chain, and we want you to know exactly where our materials come from.

The Australian Origins of Moduplay’s Raw Materials

Premium Timber – White Cypress from Injune, QLD

Our ‘Premium Timber’ is White Cypress, a durable and naturally termite-resistant timber that’s both renewable and plantation-sourced. Known for its dense heartwood, White Cypress doesn’t require chemical treatments for in-ground use when the sapwood is removed, making it an eco-friendly choice that meets our high standards for sustainability and safety.

Bushwood Timber – Narrabri, NSW

Each piece of Bushwood Timber is hand-selected by our craftsmen to ensure unique character and lasting quality. Used in natural play environments, this timber brings a sense of nature to playgrounds, connecting children with the outdoors.

Metal Components – Smithfield, Sydney, NSW

Our metal components are manufactured in Smithfield, Sydney, ensuring the structural integrity of our playground and fitness equipment. Using local metal allows us to maintain high quality and durability while supporting Australian industry.

Rotomoulded Elements – Unanderra, NSW

Our rotomoulded parts, which include vibrant and complex playground shapes, are crafted in Unanderra. This process allows us to create durable and safe play structures designed for longevity.

Rope – Newcastle, NSW

Sourced from Newcastle, our ropes are integral to many of our play systems, especially those that involve climbing. Each piece is selected for its durability, safety, and strength.

Rubber Domes and Animals – Yatala, QLD

Our rubber components, including playful domes and animal shapes, are crafted in Yatala. Designed to be safe and durable, these elements add a fun, tactile aspect to our playgrounds.

Recycled HDPE – Sydney and Albury, NSW

In alignment with our commitment to sustainability, we use recycled HDPE for select components, sourced from Sydney and Albury. This material helps us reduce waste and further demonstrates our dedication to the Australian Made Campaign and NSW Government’s Sustainability Advantage Program.

Craftsmanship and Care: How We Build with Timber

Since 1989, we’ve been crafting play equipment from Australian timbers. Every piece is hand-picked in our Playground Joinery workshop for unique character and quality, then built by our skilled craftsmen to meet strict safety standards. Our timber products embody five core qualities: weather resistance, longevity, eco-friendliness, sustainable sourcing, and pest resistance.

Beyond Local Sourcing

We’re committed to much more than just local sourcing. Programs like the Australian Made Campaign reinforce our dedication to sustainable practices. Our partnership with the Sustainability Advantage Program underscores our commitment to a greener future, ensuring that our products support not only Australian businesses but also our environment.
