Lockyer Valley Regional Council hired Astra Street Furniture in August 2019 and January 2021 to supply custom 3 m Paris DDA seats (Merbau hardwood).
The client said: “Thank you for the well designed seats you supplied us in the custom 3 m length. They went together well and have had extremely good feedback from the local community!”
Lockyer Valley Council were building a new open-air chapel at a local cemetery and were looking for a premium style of timber seat that was both durable for the open elements and good looking, plus met Australian standards and DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) requirements for correct seat height and backrest angle etc. They also needed a supplier that was willing to custom design and manufacture seats that were 3 m long instead of the standard 1800 mm.
The Lockyer Valley Region is a local government area in the West Moreton region of South East Queensland, Australia, between the cities of Ipswich and Toowoomba. It was created in 2008 from a merger of the Shire of Gatton and the Shire of Laidley. According to the council’s website, the Lockyer Valley region is situated less than a one hour’s drive from inner city Brisbane. It offers the perfect mix of town and country living, a unique experience, fascinating history, rich culture and stunning contrast of natural beauty enclosed on either side by the Great Dividing Range (the Locker Valley made headlines in 2011 when devastating floods ripped through the valley, claiming the lives of 12 people). Lockyer Valley Regional Council has more than 60 parks and reserves scattered across the region; an extensive range to suit the community.
