In relation to swings, what is the recommended safe fall zone of early childhood setting?

I have been searching for an answer and it continually says that swings are now banned and doesn't say anything about fall zones

Yes, you're right! Swings are banned... Maybe you should add that in your response I also found this:

4.2. Impact-absorbing surfaces
Tested and certified impact-absorbing material is required under all equipment with an external free height of fall of 500mm or more. The material is required to cover a fall zone of 2.5 metres around the equipment (1.9 metres for supervised early childhood centres) (page 20).
