Projects
With experience and expertise across the spectrum of creating, managing and maintaining outdoor spaces, Xyst has had a big impact on communities throughout New Zealand, Australia and Canada.
Feel free to browse through the case studies below to find out how we have helped council, local government and other people working in the public sector to find solutions for projects.
Thames Coromandel District Council
Xyst assisted the Council with contract management under NZS3916 to ensure best value.
OneSchool Global
Our assessments picked up on maintenance issues, and provided actionable recommendations to the client in the form of a short report.
Queenstown Primary School
The independent audit that the impact testing provided enabled the client and supplier to establish the quality of the playground surface within the warranty period.
Murchison Area School
Our assessment picked up on maintenance issues, structural failures, and urgent actions which were required to make the playground safe. A short report was provided to the client with recommended actions.
DCM Urban
Commissioning inspections give peace of mind that newly constructed playgrounds are safe and compliant, or evidence and recommendations to enable any areas of non-compliance to be effectively addressed.
Gisborne District Council
The new plan is not only technically robust but also practical, user-friendly, and aligned with Council’s operational realities and future planning needs. A focus on meaning, not word count. We will ensure the AMP integrates into the organisational suite of asset management plans.
Maintaining a living document that evolves with community needs and legislative changes. The plan development process was an opportunity to improve asset planning and management capability internally.
Invercargill City Council
The design review process gives the client peace of mind that the playground design, if correctly constructed, will meet the requirements of NZS 5828:2015. A further commissioning inspection of the completed playground is required to back up the desktop design review.
Christchurch City Council
The commissioning inspections give peace of mind that newly developed and upgraded playgrounds are safe and compliant, or evidence and recommendations to enable non-compliance to be effectively addressed.
Maribyrnong City Council
The project provided Council with an independent assessment of its tree management/urban forest service and a clear roadmap for continuous improvement by identifying and prioritisation of operational, governance, planning and risk management initiatives. Council now has a structured framework to enhance service efficiency, strengthen risk management outcomes, improve data-driven decision-making and support the long-term sustainability of its urban forest management program. The recommendations were well received by Council and established clear priorities for implementation and ongoing service maturity.
