Forging connections between people, place and nature by creating the most sought-after outdoor structures in Australia.

What a day to enjoy what we’ve built, connect as a team and give back.

Last week, the whole FORGE team came together at The Gables Lake Foreshore, a project we delivered for Stockland in Sydney’s north-west.

Included in our scope was the design, detailing, manufacture and installation of five custom ‘Swamp Lily’ play pods, pedestrian bridges, shade shelters, seating and a promenade viewing deck. For our team, seeing it in its final form was a massive highlight. And seeing the community making the most of it made it even more meaningful.

The day also brought some friendly competition, with challenges that put our problem-solving and communication skills to the test. It was a chance to mix across teams, share a few laughs and put different skills to work.

But the most rewarding part was building five bikes for children in need through Revolve Recycling, a Sydney-based social enterprise.

This activity is at the heart of our Grassroots™ program. Grassroots is about giving back to the communities where we work, and this was a hands-on opportunity for everyone to contribute.

Revolve’s Foundation is working to deliver 1,000 bikes to children in need across Australia each year. Our five bikes are a small contribution, but each represents another child with the freedom to ride, explore and enjoy the outdoors.

“FORGE provides valuable insights into materiality, costs and innovation so we can problem-solving challenges while the design is still evolving.”
—
Over the past decade Melbourne-based landscape architects GbLA have worked closely with FORGE on multiple community projects, including a series of award-winning play towers at Brompton Estate.

As Associate Landscape Architect Gemma Ashley explains in this short video, it’s a relationship built on collaboration and innovation.

By engaging FORGE early in the design process, Gemma says the GbLA team is able to draw real value particularly on bespoke or technically challenging projects.

“It helps us realise how our vision can be built and keeps things grounded and realistic, providing practical solutions without compromising our design intent.”

Base System + Bespoke Modifications = Brilliant Outcome

FORGE has delivered more than 20 shade and access structures at Googong, a major residential community near Queanbeyan, less than 16km from Parliament House in Canberra.

One of the largest structures to date was this stunning 24-metre multi-span pedestrian bridge providing safe passage across a creek in the heart of Googong, delivered in close collaboration with landscape architects AECOM.

While the core bridge design was based on the proprietary FORGE girder system BALMORAL™, realising the unique vision called for extensive design modifications and meticulous detailing to incorporate the signature bespoke Corten steel ‘fin’ balustrades.

Precision manufacturing, pre-assembly and installation was then required to ensure the completed bridge achieved all structural, aesthetic and safety benchmarks, providing a seamless new community access link that will serve Googong families for decades to come.

“Ensuring ideas are implementable while sticking within our design budget.”
That’s the FORGE difference
—
Spiire has been collaborating with FORGE on custom play structures for many years now.

One of our latest projects is the spectacular Coree Park Playground at Denman Prospect in the ACT inspired by the rolling hills of the iconic Brindabella mountain range.

As Spiire’s Principal Landscape Architect Matthew Bradbury explains in this short video, his team loves the value FORGE brings through the ability to test their ideas for buildability and budget as the design is progressing.

FORGE creates an instant community icon | Tamworth Skywalk

After years of intense planning, meticulous project management and precision delivery, we’re delighted to see the Tamworth Skywalk become an instant community icon on its grand opening day.

Appointed as Principal Contractor by Tamworth Regional Council back in August 2024, FORGE has led all facets of the design and delivery of the regionally-significant $18 million project.

Funded with assistance from the NSW Government’s Regional Tourism Activation Fund, the Skywalk soars high above Tamworth at Victoria Park and spans 1.5 kilometres from top to bottom.

A safe and seamlessly-connected network of access structures the Skywalk route navigates a steep and environmentally sensitive site with gradients of up to 33%. Key elements include:

84-metre elevated girder boardwalk
20-metre pedestrian bridge
Multiple viewing decks
Concrete paths
Interconnected boardwalks
Expansive landscaping.

As Principal Contractor FORGE oversaw every stage of the high profile project, engaging and overseeing specialist contractors as required and ensuring a delicate balance of community, accessibility and environmental considerations was always maintained.

Now fully open to the public, the Tamworth Skywalk is a critical new piece of community and tourism infrastructure that will serve the New England region of NSW for years to come.

Bespoke design thinking connects form and function at Gregory Hills

When FORGE was engaged to deliver three major new pedestrian bridges at Gregory Hills in south-west Sydney, the project was more complex than it first appeared.

It was essential to strike a delicate balance between form, function and budget in order to realise the elegant curved design vision created by landscape architects Distinctive Living Design while always remaining with budget for our client, Dartwest.

The solution called for meticulous design detailing and a series of bespoke modifications to our proprietary girder-based bridge system, Balmoral™.

This was further complemented by an innovative mix of materials such as distinctive Coreten posts, stainless steel wires balustrade and customised stainless steel handrails, all finished with integrated LED strip lighting.

One of the three bridges also featured a long and steady curve, something never previously attempted with a Balmoral™ structure, but ultimately delivered brilliantly.

“(FORGE’s) attention to detail, the service they provide and the working relationship we have with their team made this project enjoyable. Their acknowledgement of landscape architects in their work and how they service us is unique in this industry.”
- Mark Santagelo, Senior Landscape Architect, Distinctive Living Design

From median strip to community landmark | Clovelly Road Pocket Park "Birdcages", Randwick NSW

Not every great public space starts with a blank canvas.

Along Carrington Road in Clovelly, an underutilised traffic island has been transformed into a distinctive pocket park that is redefining how urban spaces can serve local communities.

Delivered by FORGE in collaboration with Randwick City Council and JMD Design, the project features three sculptural "birdcage" arbours that combine architectural steelwork, integrated lighting, seating and landscaping to create a welcoming place to pause, meet and connect.

While the finished result feels effortless, bringing the vision to life required extensive design development, innovative construction methodologies and careful coordination within one of Sydney's busiest suburban corridors.

The project is a powerful example of what's possible when ambitious clients, creative designers and specialist delivery teams come together to challenge convention and unlock the potential of overlooked spaces.

Great placemaking isn't always about creating something new; sometimes it's about seeing what's already there differently.

Greenhouse-inspired play takes shape at Bankside Estate

It’s been a big few weeks for the FORGE team in Victoria, with site works now complete on a striking ‘greenhouse’ inspired play structure at Bankside Estate in Rowville, located 35 minutes south-east of Melbourne.

Set beside the Corhanwarrabul Creek wetlands, each structure is designed to complement its surrounding landscape while creating places for kids to play and families to relax and come together within the 68-hectare master-planned community.

This one was a true team effort. Starting from Tract’s original concept, we worked side by side with their designers to refine the structure, balancing what’s possible to build with what makes play exciting. From there, detailed engineering and rigorous testing set the project up for a smooth install on site, led by ULS Group.

The playground is now open to the Bankside community, and we look forward to seeing it become a place where local families play, explore and connect for years to come.

Build it and they will come… and keep coming!

It’s now been more than a year since the spectacular Greenheart Robina Parklands and playground officially opened on the Gold Coast, and families continue to enjoy it in their thousands.

Located on Stadium Drive at Robina, FORGE played a central role in the design, detailing, manufacturing and installation of the parkland’s hero play structures in collaboration with Place Design Group and lead contractor JMac Constructions for the City of Gold Coast.

The one-of-a-kind adventure playground features two soaring custom-designed play towers with interconnecting net bridges, winding tunnel slides, climbing walls, swings and a large spinning sphere.

There is also a separated junior play space with cubby houses, small slides, talking tubes and spring rockers for younger children.

Filled with smiles and laughter seven days a week, the sweeping community green space has quickly become a must-visit social hub where local families and visitors can meet, relax and, of course, play!

With Queensland set to welcome the world for the 2032 Olympics, it’s the perfect time to be investing in public spaces that deliver for locals and visitors alike. Great play and parkland infrastructure is part of the experience, and the real legacy is what lasts long after the closing ceremony. Projects like Robina Greenheart Parklands are built to be enjoyed by generations of Gold Coast families well beyond the Olympics.

Robina Greenheart Parklands is the second destination playground project FORGE has completed for the City of Gold Coast, following the award-winning Peninsula Playground at Broadwater Parklands which opened in 2022. We’re ready to help deliver the next wave of Olympics-era and legacy public space projects across Queensland

You might expect an almost 2km skywalk to prompt plenty of engineering questions. At the 2026 Small Bridges Conference, some of the most interesting questions were about how the Tamworth Skywalk got off the ground in the first place.

FORGE Director Ian Joyce and Tamworth Regional Council Project Engineer Lachlan Mackiewicz shared the story of the $18 million structure. Council’s funding journey drew particular interest, as did the challenge of making an ambitious design buildable.

It sparked a conversation many councils and asset owners could relate to. We’ve shared more of it here:
