Australia offers playground equipment, interested councils asked to apply

The Australia Maldives Friendship Association (AMFA), in collaboration with the Australian High Commission, is offering interested local islands in the Maldives quality secondhand playground equipment.

According to AMFA, the playground equipment currently being relocated from public spaces in Australia are set to be shipped to the Maldives for reinstallation and continued community use.

The association has emailed all local councils, inviting them to submit Expressions of Interest (EOIs) to participate in its playground equipment initiative.

The association has shared photographs provide examples of the type of playground equipment expected to become available.

Councils interested in participating have been asked to submit an EOI demonstrating their readiness to transport, install and sustainably manage the equipment.

The deadline for submission of EOI is 12:00 pm July 16.

AMFA states that it looks forward to working with councils across the Maldives to create safe, enjoyable and sustainable recreational spaces for children and families.
