Living Gems Caboolture Riverfront hit a major milestone last month with the resort’s bowling green refurbishment now complete.

Living Gems Manager of Property and Assets Ben Livingstone said the quality of the facility was among the best on offer in Australia industry-wide.

“We made a significant investment to accomplish a top-notch upgrade,” Ben said.

Director of Bioscapes Group and the man behind the refurbishment, Dave Bentley, said the facility’s size and scope were top tier.

“In all the projects I’ve been involved with, Living Gems Caboolture Riverfront maintains the highest level of quality. It’s one of only eight bowling green rinks we’ve done in this size and is undercover, so residents can play any time of day including nighttime,” he said.

To celebrate the refurbishment, the Living Gems Caboolture Riverfront Bowls Committee hosted a barbecue with about 100 people attending, together with new resort managers Maureen and Kevin Johnson.

Ben said he was encouraged to bowl on the day and had gained a new appreciation for the sport.

“They pulled me into the game, and I really enjoyed it. I wouldn’t mind making this an annual event with the crew,” he said.

Bowls committee chairperson, John Skene expressed gratitude to Dave and his team at the event.

“A huge thank you to Dave from Bioscapes and his team for the great job they did on the new surface and for supplying the meat for the barbecue,” John said.

Dave said he was impressed with the high standard of all the facilities at Living Gems.

“There’s more social hubs around Living Gems than other over-50s resorts I’ve seen,” he said.

“It’s great how residents interact with each other and how active they are within the community. It’s just fantastic, you really notice the difference here.”
