Michael Hansén, Natalie Woodbridge

Abstract

Discusses the increasing trend in Australia to source playground equipment from overseas suppliers. This has arisen due to a shortage of manpower for manufacturing units and cost effectiveness. The success story of Foxpark Australia wholly owned by an Australian manufacturer continues to overcome this trend by manufacturing all equipment within the country.
