Picnic Tables Victorian Government Supplier — Auscraft Furniture

Hardwood Picnic Tables for Victorian Government and Council Procurement

Auscraft Furniture supplies AS 5604 Class 1 hardwood picnic tables to Victorian local councils, state government agencies, schools and public venues. Manufactured at our West Gosford facility on the NSW Central Coast, every table is built to endure Victoria's wide climate range — from coastal humidity on Port Phillip Bay to alpine frost in the Dandenong Ranges — for decades of low-maintenance service.

Victorian procurement officers can request a formal quote, compliance documentation and sample timber finishes. We support purchase-order workflows aligned with Victorian Government Purchasing Board (VGPB) procurement policies, including the Goods and Services supply policy framework.

Victorian Government Purchasing Board (VGPB) Compliance

The VGPB sets procurement policy for all Victorian government departments and agencies. Auscraft operates within the VGPB framework by providing full product specifications, ABN documentation, AS 5604 certification, and staged delivery scheduling. Our quoting process is designed to support formal tendering, direct sourcing and approved supplier arrangements used across Victorian councils and government bodies.

Local councils operating under the Local Government Act 2020 procurement rules — including City of Melbourne, City of Yarra, City of Port Phillip, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Yarra Ranges Council and Greater Dandenong — are all established customer types that Auscraft regularly supplies or quotes for.

AS 5604 Class 1 Timber — The Victorian Council Standard

Victorian councils specify AS 5604 Class 1 timber for outdoor furniture installed in public spaces — parks, reserves, foreshores and recreation areas. Class 1 above-ground durability means the timber can withstand exposure to weather, moisture and biological decay without preservative treatment, providing the lowest whole-of-life maintenance cost.

Auscraft uses two primary Class 1 species:

• Spotted Gum (Corymbia citriodora): Hard, dense and naturally resistant to checking. The benchmark species for Victorian park furniture.
• Ironbark: Exceptionally hard and dense — preferred for high-traffic coastal and foreshore installations where vandal resistance matters.

Both species are sourced from certified Australian forestry operations, supporting councils with local procurement and sustainability commitments.

DDA and AS 1428.1 Accessible Picnic Table Options

Victorian councils and government venues are required under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) and the Disability Act 2006 (VIC) to provide accessible outdoor facilities. Auscraft manufactures picnic tables to AS 1428.1 — Design for Access and Mobility, including:

• Compliant table height (720–760mm) for wheelchair approach
• Minimum 800mm knee clearance depth
• End-access design to allow wheelchair positioning without transfers
• Stable, level surface compatible with hard paving and compacted gravel

Accessible models can be specified alongside standard bench tables within the same order, simplifying procurement for multi-asset park upgrades.

Interstate Delivery to Victoria — NSW Manufacturer

Auscraft is based in West Gosford, NSW — approximately 900km from Melbourne. We run regular freight services to Victoria, covering Melbourne metro, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, the Mornington Peninsula and regional areas. Typical lead time for Victorian deliveries is 3–5 business days after manufacture completion, with tail-lift and site-delivery options available for councils without forklift access.

Staged delivery schedules are available for councils with multi-site park upgrade programmes — tables can be dispatched in batches aligned with your installation calendar.
