Caloundra Gardens is an independent retirement village on the Sunshine Coast, home to extensive facilities including a natural grass bowling green, croquet lawns, wide open spaces, community BBQ areas and a resort-style pool. These shared spaces are connected by kilometres of concrete roads and paths. 

The Challenge

Over time, mould and dirt deposits built up across these surfaces, creating slip hazards when wet. For residents, visitors and staff moving between facilities, safety and access were at risk The owner needed a solution that was fast, efficient and caused minimal disruption to daily village life.  

A SPITWATER Solutions Specialist conducted a site assessment at Caloundra Gardens. The walkthrough highlighted long stretches of concrete roads, narrow connecting paths between facilities, and the need for uninterrupted water supply to manage high-flow cleaning.  

The assessment confirmed that mobility, reach and consistent performance were essential to complete the job quickly and safely with minimal disruption to residents.
