Hiring a Jumping Castle in a council Park in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich and Redlands areas.

Thinking of hiring a jumping castle in Brisbane , Gold Coast or Ipswich areas and thinking of having it in the local park ? then you need to read this first before you start booking your hire provider in.


Its that time of year again and the memories of last years stress, hassle , organising and mess are starting to haunt you again as you start to plan this years birthday party for your child, or you are just planning a social gathering for your local sports club or social group. Your thinking of having it in the park , somewhere neutral to everyone and easily accessible for people wanting to come and go as they please. Unfortunately this means you will need to haul everything down to the park such as tables and chairs and cooking equipment along with eskies and marquee's if you need shade too.

Well a lot of people don't realise that all this is usually ok with council however any gathering of 20-50 people needs to be registered with the council. Depending on the council , and every one is different to deal with will depend at which size of gathering your having will depend if you even need to let council know. Now there isn't any penalty for not doing this , however you leave your self open to receive fines from police if they have a incident to enquire about so it is always better to be safe then sorry.

So you have now got the amount of people likely to come sorted out , you have your food, drinks and shade all figured out , now for the entertainment. This is usually where you will start looking for a jumping castle hire business in Brisbane , Gold Coast or Ipswich areas to provide you with your entertainment for the kids. In the past 10 years the inflatable hire business has boomed with a lot of smaller mum and dad business's popping up with the popularity of having a jumping castle at your birthday party. A jumping castle hire is a great solution to your entertainment needs for the kids and the adults too. However you might start looking around at the jumping castle pricing and you will see a big difference in the prices from advertisers on Facebook and Gumtree to well established business's ranking on a google search. Why is that you ask ? This is a very important question and this will ultimately and can make your booking a lot easier or a lot harder if you can not decipher the difference.

In recent years inflatable warehouses and bouncing play grounds with trampolines have become very very popular for families to attend on weekends particularly if its bad weather. These places have usually been started and built so quick with little thought going into safety and costing in having competent supervisors attending the different Zones in the parks. This has lead to multiple injuries every weekend in most of these types of places. With a huge amount of injuries there are a big spike in people filing for injury claims against the business's insurance for lack of duty of care. This is the important part that relates to you hiring a jumping castle for your party or event. Insurance companies are now placing a lot of financial and safety pressure on business's to have this insurance and policies in place to operate insured. To give you a idea of the extreme change, our insurance excess at Castles 4 Jumping went from $500 to $10,000 in a single year. Our Premiums also jumped substantially even though we have never had a claim against our business. This is the main indicator for the differences in pricing between business's you might research on for quotes for your jumping castle hire. This also holds a lot of importance when it comes to booking your jumping castle hire provider as all councils will only except business's with 20 million public liability insurance as a acceptable business to hire your jumping castle from. This needs to be proved with council with your application to have the jumping castle in the park. Often the certificate of currency is whats needed to complete the application process with most councils. This covers you, the business and the council if there were to be any liabilities from the jumping castle or hire equipment being hired in a public area for a private function.

What could possibly happen you might say ? Well you might have seen jumping castles collapse on people or jumping castles blown away in windy conditions with the children still inside ?  Well all these risks and many many more are covered by the insurance companies to ensure the business is using Australian standard equipment and process's that are developed to eliminate this risk. Business's not insured would have no or next to none of these in place or in  practise protecting you and your friends and family from a potential disaster happening. This is the reason councils require permission to have a jumping castle hire in the park. This is also the reason in such a big price difference between different providers.

So now you have saved your time from being wasted by booking a safe provider and you are all approved by council to have your birthday party or event in the local park , what other ways can you make it easier on your self ?
