Moddex was engaged by the Baw Baw Shire Council to install a safe and DDA-compliant access way to the soccer pitch during their upgrade of the Baxter Park in Warragul, Victoria.

The soccer field and surrounds at Baxter Park were upgraded into a state-of-the-art facility featuring a FIFA certified synthetic playing surface. Additionally, the project required drainage, fencing, playing equipment and storage, accessible access ramp and stairs, and compliant accessible car parking spaces. The $2.1 million project was fully funded by the Council and formed part of the Council’s 2020/21 Capital Works Program.

The upgraded synthetic pitch was officially opened in July 2021.

The first stage of the new synthetic pitch project included the following:

  • FIFA certified synthetic playing surface including drainage
  • Moddex handrails and balustrades
  • Equipment and equipment storage area
  • Access ramp and stairs
  • Two accessible car parks
  • Planting in the embankment area

The Moddex difference

Moddex has a track record of ensuring everything fits – on budget and on time. It’s why we were confidently engaged by our client as a specified project, and preferred by Architect Sporteng and A1 civil based on the strength of our relationship with Baw Baw Shire Council. We were engaged to provide a first class, safe, and compliant access way spanning 235 metres to the soccer fields.

With installation completed in 1 week, we offered a quick and efficient install, supplying our black powdercoated custom finish CB35 (ramp) and CB30 (stair) products. On completion, Moddex had provided a DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) compliant access way for the public.

The relatively large job proceeded as planned, with our powdercoated finishes offering a superior result.
