WetSide and TotSide at Hervey Bay
Project Type: Splash Pad
Location: Hervey Bay. Queensland. Australia
Life Floor is proud to surface both WetSide and Totside amenities at WetSide Waterpark in Queensland, Australia. As of 2024, this project is the largest Life Floor installation in the Southern Hemisphere with a total area of 1,310 m². A bold and elegant design by WhiteWater on the WetSide area features large custom whales and sandbars, as well as our standard Marine Inlays. A swath of curves weaves down the center of the splash pad to encourage movement around the space and provide visual interest. The custom elements are complemented by a standard three-colour square pattern for cost-effectiveness and aesthetic. The square pattern carries over onto the TotSide area which Grassports Australia (QLD) designed and installed for a complementary continuation of WhiteWater’s design.
Prior to Life Floor, the surface was coated with a pour-in-place system of rubber granules that failed despite the manufacturer’s installer returning for regular repairs. The Fraser Coast Regional Council elected to replace everything with Life Floor in a phased project approach over the course of two years. Aquatic centres often choose to phase projects in order to offer new guest attractions, improve overall aesthetics, and stagger upgrades to stay within annual budgets.
