AWL slides a reward for good school attendance

Supplier: Australian Waterslides & Leisure Pty Ltd

More Australian Waterslides & Leisure Pty Ltd details
Australian Waterslide & Leisure (AWL) Ltd used hot-dipped, galvanised steel to create a variety of bright waterslides for a remote Aboriginal Community.

AWL was contacted by a head of the Department of Families Housing Community Services and Indigenous Affairs to create an outdoor wet play area for the 200 children and young adults who live at Minyerri Aboriginal Community in Australia’s Northern Territory.

The slides are used as a reward for the children that regularly attend school, uplifting the education of the children in the community.

The waterslide installation, which opened in July, is more economical than installing a swimming pool and incurs fewer risks for non-swimmers.

The benefits are substantial, as the children are regularly bathed in salty chlorinated water which prevents unpleasant bouts of ear, eye and skin infections.

The play area covers 56ft (17m) by 72ft (22m) and was funded by a cross-section of departments, along with a significant contribution from AWL. The main challenges of building the slides were cost-related due to the high price of concrete, plus the lack of availability of materials when working in such a remote area.
