Xyst was engaged by the Mackenzie District Council to assist with the project management of the Lakeside Drive Playground.
This project presented several challenges, including tight budget constraints, complex underground services, the nearby lake and roadway, contaminated soil, and the need to meet high accessibility standards. Gaining buy-in from both the local community and the Community Board was essential, Xyst’s collaborative approach helped build strong community support.
Within scope was the development of a concept design, procurement planning, resource consent applications, underground service identification, contract preparation, early contractor involvement, and the management of an invited tender process. Despite the technical and environmental complexities, Xyst’s expertise ensured the project was well-positioned for its successful delivery and that the playground will serve the community for years to come.
