Why do schools and councils choose Oasis?
Every project responds to the brief in front of us, the site, the budget and how the space will actually be used, rather than being pulled from a fixed product range. As a third-generation, family-owned business, we take on the harder, more site-specific work, and we manage it end to end: design, engineering, construction, civil works, surfacing and landscaping, all with the one team. That means one point of contact instead of several separate contractors, and a result that holds up because the groundwork, the structure and the finish were never handled as isolated jobs.
Is Oasis compliant with Australian Standards?
Yes. All Oasis work is delivered by our QBCC-licensed team to the relevant Australian Standards, including AS4685 and AS4422 for playgrounds. Every playground is inspected and certified by our in-house Level 3 playground inspectors before handover, and every shade structure is engineered to the relevant Australian Standards.
Does Oasis handle every stage of a project?
Yes. From the first site visit through design, documentation, engineering and construction, one Oasis team carries the project through, whether that's a single playground or a package covering civil works, surfacing, shade and landscaping.
Can Oasis work from existing plans or a chosen architect?
Yes. Oasis can build from existing plans, collaborate with your architect, or take a project from initial idea through to design and construction. The same Oasis team manages construction regardless of how the project started.
Is Oasis qualified to work on education facilities and government projects?
Yes. Oasis works with over 100 schools and councils every year and has completed over 3000 projects since 1968. Oasis holds a QBCC Open Builders Licence, carries public liability, professional indemnity and workers' compensation insurance, and employs qualified tradespeople including carpenters, concreters and builders. Oasis is also an approved supplier under Queensland Government Standing Offer Arrangements for playgrounds and shade structures.
Can Oasis help with grant funding before a project is confirmed?
Yes. Oasis can provide a free site visit, a concept design and an itemised, grant-ready quote to help schools and P&Cs build a fundable case, with staged pricing available where funding only covers part of the project. This scoping is obligation-free and doesn't commit you to using Oasis for construction.
