Who sensory & musical suits
Sensory equipment such as our Xylophone, Acoustic Drums, Sensory Microphones, Optical Illusion panels and Gear Drive panel engages the senses through sound, sight and touch. It suits early-years and childcare settings, special-education and NDIS/SDA spaces, and any inclusive playground where children of all abilities can play side by side at ground level.
Ages, footprint and fall height
- Ages
- Most sensory panels suit toddlers through primary-age children and are playable seated or standing; each product page states its own age recommendation.
- Footprint
- Small — most panels and musical pieces mount to a single post or ground frame; each product page gives its footprint and safety-zone dimensions so it can be checked against the site plan.
- Fall height
- Ground-level play with little or no fall height; the exact figure is stated on each product page and sets any required surfacing depth under AS 4422.
What it costs
As a guide, a single freestanding sensory piece typically costs about $2,000 to $10,000, ex GST. Every fixed-price quote covers the equipment, compliant softfall surfacing to AS 4422 where required, site preparation, delivery, installation by our own crew and independent compliance certification at handover.
Surfacing to pair it with
Sensory panels are often installed on synthetic turf, wet-pour rubber or a firm accessible surface; where a fall height applies, surfacing is specified to meet AS 4422 for that height.
Read our surfacing guide, or compare wet-pour rubber, sand & mulch and synthetic turf.
