Kangaroo Courts

What Kangaroo Courts does

Kangaroo Courts is a privately held Australian sports court installation company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Sydney, operating on a nationwide basis across all states and territories including regional and remote areas. The company designs and installs sports courts for schools, councils, sporting clubs, and residential homeowners, delivering end-to-end project execution through an in-house team that handles site inspection, consultation, court design, surface preparation, installation, and line marking. Its technology stack centres on Mapei and Sportspave acrylic surface systems marketed as premium, weather-resistant, and low-maintenance materials designed specifically for Australian conditions, complemented by an interactive Court Visualiser web tool that lets prospective customers configure courts across nine sport types with 36 colour options.

The business model is project-based professional services with quote-driven pricing, no published standard price list, and revenue generated per project. Customer segments are organised vertically into schools, councils, residential homeowners (each marked primary), and sporting clubs (secondary), with sales captured through website enquiry forms, an interactive project map, direct phone contact, and government/education tender processes. Commercial offerings are split into Commercial Surfacing, Residential Surfacing, full Court Construction, Maintenance/resurfacing (driven by a recurring 5–7 year recoat cycle), and Equipment Installation (hoops, nets, posts, goals), alongside several surface-type categories including Backyard Sports Area, Multi-Purpose, Basketball, Netball, Tennis, and Urban Traffic surfaces used for road-safety education.

Kangaroo Courts is a founder-led, family-controlled private business with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, parent company, or M&A activity. Leadership consists of founder Scott McFarlane, who oversees vision, strategy, operations, and financial management; Bridgette McFarlane in Business Development and Marketing; and Brett Favell as Operations Manager. Named clients span multiple state governments (Queensland, NSW, Victoria), education networks (Catholic Archdiocese, Diocese of Parramatta, Anglican Schools Australia, HP, Joss Group), and Court Lines Mobile, indicating a distributed mix rather than dependence on any single anchor account.
