Lachlan Shire Council

Situated in the heart of the Western Plains region, the Lachlan Shire Council is the largest geographic council area in Central West New South Wales. Stretching over nearly 15,000 square kilometres, it is subject to extreme weather conditions ranging from frosts in winter to summer days over 40℃.

When making improvements to a range of public amenities, the Council consulted Felton Industries. Our experience in designing and manufacturing premium outdoor furniture for streets, parks and recreation areas across Australia was invaluable when it came to recommending the right product.

To upgrade seating in a refurbished playground area of the town’s main park, Felton’s Above Ground Bench Seats with Back Rests were the ideal choice. On request, the bench design was modified to include armrests. Blending perfectly with the modern play equipment, they combine comfort with the durability and safety needed for a child-friendly area.

When it came to refitting the central bus stop, it was clear passengers would benefit from the protection of Felton’s Modular Bus Shelters. All four shelters were powder-coated blue prior to installation to match the council’s design scheme.

At the local skate park development, the Council required disability inclusive seating and Felton Industries had the perfect settings. Two Interactive Wheelchair Settings, designed to accommodate wheelchairs, allow everyone to enjoy this park. Being located so close to the skate park, special skateboard stoppers were added to the benches to deter any dangerous stunts.

All Felton’s products were delivered on time and on budget. Lachlan Shire Council’s Recreation Manager Adrian Milne was very pleased with Felton’s Products and Service.

“Felton’s product support and customer service are great to deal with and very professional. The timelines of product delivery has enabled Council to deliver improvements in a timely manner. Felton has also modified some of their products to suit Council’s requirements.”

Customising our products to suit special requirements is something we love to do and we’re certain the Lachlan Shire community will enjoy the benefits for many years to come.
