TLC Whitewater is a ground-breaking Australian-first intergenerational precinct that integrates residential aged care, early learning, hospitality and wellness in a modern and vibrant facility.

Wood Finish Aluminium Aesthetic
The main entrance on White Street serves as a testament to the seamless integration of form and function.
The stunning curvature of Sculptform wood finish aluminium Click-on Battens, adds a grand sculptural feature to the streetscape, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the facade and provides structural integrity and durability. The aluminium battens were installed using standard and curved tracks delivered in a flexible state to easily wrap around the substrate.
Factory-fixed batten clips, already spaced accordingly to specifications, streamline on-site installation by allowing the battens to be push-clicked into mounting tracks in a concealed manner. This approach saves valuable time during installation.
