SYNLawn Australia introduces new hybrid turf range SYNLawn Australia has released a synthetic turf system that integrates with natural grass for perfect year-round coverage.

The new and improved, synthetic turf system - SYNLawn Hybrid - cleverly integrates with natural grass to create a dynamic hybrid that looks and feels like natural grass, but with far superior durability.

The new SYNLawn Hybrid synthetic turf system has been developed to combat eroded areas of natural grass caused by high foot traffic or environmental damage, to provide healthy and beautiful grass coverage all year round.

Part of APT (Advanced Polymer Technology) Asia Pacific, SYNLawn Hybrid synthetic turfs are made from a strong polyethylene yarn and feature a polyester honeycomb cell base, which enables natural grass to grow through the cells to become fully integrated. This integration of the two grass types strengthens the worn area. The unique honeycomb base also allows for superior water drainage through to the natural grass roots.

GLG lighting at eastern Melbourne’s South Belgrave Oval.

Gerard Lighting Group completes sale of infrastructure division to Schréder Gerard Lighting Group (GLG) has completed the sale of its infrastructure lighting division in Australia, Sylvania and Austube, to the Schréder Group, one of the world’s leading intelligent outdoor lighting solutions providers.

Following the recent release of a live streaming feature for classes, PerfectGym has continued to innovate and add additional features to their platform to assist clients with their reentry strategies - anticipating how club owners and centre managers will need to operate as facilities are allowed to re-open in various capacities.

PerfectGym innovations back industry re-opening

Taking into account Federal and state government guidelines, in the ever fluid Coronavirus environment, PerfectGym has built upon and refined aspects of its platform to assist with maintaining regulated occupancy limits in facilities, and enabled club owners to easily abide by guidelines and support proposed ‘Covid Safe Plans’ in the future.

Introducing the new platform enhancements, PerfectGym Country Manager, Matt Inglis, explains "I am proud of and impressed with our company’s ability to react and produce enhancements and new features to assist clubs during COVID-19; which is testament to the agile nature of our offering and development ethos. "In some cases, features that count ‘who is in’ the club have existed since 2010, but we now can offer the ability to scan out of the club, through implementing a ‘people in club counter' that will deny entry when the threshold is reached."

Building upon the need to limit entry and control thresholds, PerfectGym's ‘max people in club’ feature is able to deny entry to members when the facility maximum occupancy is reached, to complement the ‘who is in’ functionality.

Schréder Group will operate in the Australian and New Zealand markets combining both existing names and brands, as Sylvania Schréder and Austube Schréder. Both teams will be integrated into a single entity, creating a strong market leader in Australia.

Sylvania – now rebranded as Sylvania Schréder - is the leading outdoor lighting brand in Australia. It designs and manufactures outdoor lighting with applications in roads, tunnels, decorative lighting, recreational sports and smart lighting connected solutions. Austube – now rebranded as Austube Schréder - designs and manufactures indoor linear lighting solutions for applications in railway, airports and commercial infrastructures.

Headquartered in Belgium, Schréder has been operating as a family-owned business since 1907.

It has over 2,600 employees in more than 35 locations worldwide, including Perth where it opened its first Australian subsidiary in 2015. Since then, the company has provided lighting solutions for a host of major infrastructure and urban renewal projects around the country.

Noting the importance to uphold customer satisfaction, PerfectGym has added a ‘club counter’ to their mobile app, and soon also to their member portal, which is able to inform members of current club capacities, so they can plan their work out accordingly, and to avoid being turned away.

Through the PerfectGym portal, PerfectGym has utilised their flexible booking system to allow facilities to implement a booking system for attending the facility that is able to be tiered to be paid, non-paid, and is accompanied with a plethora of settings, empowering club owners and enabling them to set parameters specific to their facility and guidelines.

Pairing the Member Portal, mobile app, Automation Centre and Access Control modules, Inglis notes "will allow clients to maintain guideline recommendations, allow members to easily return to gyms, and ensure all people are safe and happy when they return to the gym. "We at PerfectGym cannot wait for our clients and the industry to reopen; and are proud to be able to have our clients utilise our platform to help make their unique re-entry and reopening as easy and stress free as possible."

Ticketek introduces contactless tickets at Central Coast Stadium Fans attending sporting fixtures at the Central Coast Stadium are now able to make use of Ticketek’s contactless tickets on iPhone and Apple Watch for convenient and fast access.

With Central Coast Stadium the first sports and entertainment venue in NSW to provide the option, fans can now easily and securely add contactless tickets to their Apple Wallet at a single touch. Once at the stadium, fans will be required to hold their iPhone or Apple Watch next to the turnstile’s reader to be admitted into the ground, eliminating the need to search pockets or wallets or having to worry about losing their paper ticket.

Fans will also receive a push notification when they arrive at the venue for further convenience, allowing them to quickly access their tickets for streamlined entry.

Ticketek has long been a market leader in mobile technology and was first to launch mobile tickets in 2011. Since then, there has been rapid growth in customer adoption of digital tickets, with over 88% of tickets in Australia in 2020 are now delivered digitally, and 49% of these directly to mobiles. The addition of contactless ticketing is predicted to further accelerate the shift to paperless digital ticketing.

Centaman Entrance Control launches virus-fighting screens Security experts, Centaman Entrance Control, have launched a countertop screen designed to help prevent the spread of viruses at aquatic and recreation centres, gyms, cafes and retail outlets.

Built to stop airborne germs commonly spread by coughing or sneezing, the robust and easy to install EasyScreen is available as a tri-fold or single panel with an opening that allows for the transfer of items or payment of transactions.

Centaman Entrance Control General Manager, Michael Bystram said the new screen was perfect for facilities seeking a practical and affordable solution to mitigate the risks posed by viruses such as Covid-19.

Bystram advised “the new countertop screen works in a wide range of point of sale settings to add an extra line of defence against airborne viruses. Not only does it offer a physical barrier against the virus, but it also plays an important role in giving customers and staff confidence that you are taking the risk of Covid-19 seriously and introducing measures to protect their wellbeing.”

Centaman Entrance Control has also released a contactless wrist scanner, known as a ‘Thermo Detector’, that checks the temperature of every facility visitor and only allows gates to open if their temperature is within a normal range.

The Thermo Detector can be added to new or existing Centaman Entrance Control gates.

The company has also added a separate ‘Automated Occupancy Control’ solution to its product range.

The occupancy counter can be added to many existing Centaman Entrance Control gates to monitor the number of people entering and exiting a facility and prevent entry when a set occupancy limit is reached.

Noting that the two virus-fighting solutions would play an important role in enabling leisure centres and fitness facilities to re-open safely when Government restrictions to control the spread of COVID-19 were eased, Bystram added “when the time comes for leisure facilities and offices to re-open, facilities will need to ensure they have measures in place to ensure the safety of customers and staff.”

A leader in security and entrance control technology, Centaman Entrance Control has also introduced the EasyGate SG 1000 - a mobile entrance control gate with an integrated thermal camera that can be used by supermarkets and retail stores to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spreading among shoppers.

Laserforce and Arenaverse introduce revenue generating virtual reality experience Laserforce and Arenaverse have announced a relationship which they believe will disrupt the developing out-of-homeentertainment virtual reality (VR) sector.

Laserforce consider that VR, for a number of years has fallen short of being a solid commercial reality. Tethered units, back packs, slow throughput and high labour costs have prevented many operators from including VR products in their mix of offerings.

With Laserforce, now the official distributor of Arenaverse, Laserforce International Operations Executive Jason Wallace enthuses that “Arenaverse has developed an untethered, zero backpack, free roam virtual reality laser tag product that Laserforce feels has embraced our mission and vision as an amazing complimentary product to Laserforce laser tag.”

Designed to scale up or down, Arenaverse is ideal to repurpose into non performing attraction areas. Arenaverse will map out your location to avoid any columns or obstacles to provide a customised arena for your location.

BIG4 Gold Coast Holiday Park opens minimum supervision waterslide structure BIG4 Gold Coast Holiday Park has opened its new multi-milliondollar aquatic attraction to the public offering 40 interactive play features, including one of the largest splash buckets in Australia.

The new attraction at the BIG4 Gold Coast Holiday Park consists of waterslides from Polin Waterparks with a combined length of 317 metres.

Launched from 13 metre high tower - making them the highest and longest in any holiday park in the country - thrillseekers can enjoy glimpses of nearby Warner Bros. Movie World and the hinterlands of the Gold Coast from the platform.

The slides, fittings and structure were custom designed by Polin Waterparks to realise the customer’s dream while achieving maximum operating efficiency and installed by Swimplex Aquatics.

With a total of seven slides, three from 9.9 metres and the other four from 3 metres and below, Swimplex Aquatics Sales and Marketing Manager, Oz Ikiz says the feature “is like a medium size waterpark appealing to both teenagers and younger children.

“The structure allows for the operator to use their discretion in slow times to close the 9 metre slides reducing the required supervision staff from two to zero.”

Only requiring a maximum of two staff to supervise the feature when all slides are operational, when the 9 metre slides are closed, Ikiz adds “kids can still climb up the 9 metres and play with different water guns, buckets and toys.”

Life Floor enhances beach entry at Sunshine Leisure Centre Leading slip-resistant surface Life Floor, has recently been installed to enhance patron safety at the Sunshine Leisure Centre in inner western Melbourne.

With thousands of visitors year-round, the popular Brimbank City Council venue had been frequently closed due to a number of slip and falls on its previously painted beach entry at its indoor leisure pool.

To change this, the Council commissioned Life Floor to remove all the paint and install 10mm thick Ripple 2.0 anti-slip, non-abrasive tiles in four colours.

To add excitement, die cut designs of marine creature were also installed.

The recently completed project is set to welcome new clients when the facility reopens.

Vivaticket creates new website page for clients impacted by Coronavirus Vivaticket has launched a simplified solution to refunding and converting tickets into donations following the widespread cancellations caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.

Experienced fitness operator addresses clubs’ hygiene challenges Experienced fitness industry executive David Norman’s new venture Fitbodonline has released an industry specific ‘Gym Safe’ sanitiser and portable stand and automatic dispenser.

Norman, the founder of EYE Fitness, who recently returned to Australia from his role as Head of Fitness with Virgin Active Health Clubs South East Asia, launched Fitbodonline to meet the demand for at-home fitness products.

However, with Pilates & Co, the Gold Coast studio that he and his wife operated, forced to close due to Coronavirus restrictions in March, he moved to source hygiene products not only for his studio but also for other operators.

As Norman explains “we needed this equipment for our studio but discovering it was required by other operators we moved to work with trusted manufacturers to develop a solution for the industry.

“Future solutions we can supply if demand exists will include smaller pump bottles, masks, gloves, and thermometers so we can be a ‘one stop shop’ for the post COVID-19 ‘clean me, trust me’ conditions.

“While Fitbodonline has also supplied innovative fitness best sellers like freeform boards, hyperwear weighted vests to commercial facilities from Crunch, Virgin Active, EMF and 12 Round in recent times, we hope this dedicated Gym Safe range can be trusted and help us all win back our customers and re-grow our businesses.”
