Level 3 Playground Inspection

The Murchison School Board of Trustees identified potential non-compliance in their play spaces and sought an independent Level 3 Playground Inspection from Xyst to provide actionable recommendations ahead of the 2026 school year.

Xyst assessed the play area against NZS 5828:2015 using the Safety Culture app and custom templates.

Our inspection of this site assessed the playground’s general surrounds, structure, Free Height of Fall (FHoF), free Space, fall zones, and provided equipment specific assessments.

Project Benefit

Our assessment picked up on maintenance issues, structural failures, and urgent actions which were required to make the playground safe. A short report was provided to the client with recommended actions.
