As the year 2024 draws to a close, it’s time to hit rewind and celebrate the moments that made this year extraordinary for our team. From building inspiring playgrounds to embracing new adventures (and a few furry cuddles), here’s our “2024 Wrapped: A Year of Play and Inclusion” in true Spotify style.
New Hits on Repeat: The Team Playlist
This year, our team hit new high notes as we welcomed some amazing new faces! Bec, Simon, Rachel, and Lache joined the squad, bringing fresh energy and skills.
And let’s not forget our newest four-legged team member, Ronnie, who has wagged his way into everyone’s hearts. It’s safe to say our office has never been more dynamic—or adorable.
Going Global: French Connection
In true international style, some of our team packed their bags and jetted off to France to visit our headquarters. This was more than a trip; it was an opportunity to deepen relationships, soak up inspiration, and exchange ideas with our global family. Plus, the croissants weren’t too bad either!
Bigger, Better, More Inclusive
We’re thrilled to have released a brand-new edition of our Inclusive Play Areas Guide. This updated resource is a testament to our commitment to creating play spaces where everyone belongs. It’s been incredible to see the guide inspiring projects across the country.

Turning the Spotlight on Brisbane
We hit the stage at the Parks and Leisure Australia National Conference in Brisbane this year. It was a fantastic opportunity to share insights, learn from others, and showcase our passion for creating spaces where people thrive. The energy in the room was electric, and we left feeling inspired and ready to take on new challenges.
Smells Like Team Spirit
2024 was also about connection. From brainstorming sessions to shared laughs, this year reaffirmed what we love most about our work: the people. Whether it was collaborating on playground designs, sharing travel stories from France, or sneaking treats to Ronnie under the desk, it’s been a year full of teamwork and camaraderie.
Here’s to More in ’25
As we close the book on this incredible year, we’re grateful for the projects, partnerships, and people who make what we do so rewarding. Here’s to an even more exciting, playful, and inspiring 2025. Until then, wishing everyone a happy holiday season and a new year full of play. Wheeeeeeeee!
