Torbay Aged Care & Retirement Village | Torquay

Torbay Retirement Villages needed the latest in high tech HACCP compliant kitchens to supply 4,000 meals per day to their aged care residents and surrounding client base including: the aged care facility, Hervey Bay Surgical Centre (hospital), Mantra Resort, The Village Caterer, Parklands Retirement Haven and other convention and community groups. Moving hot and cold meals which arrive in perfect condition requires considerable planning and investment in specialised equipment.

Aged Care Design

The commercial kitchen of Torbay Aged Care & Retirement Village follows a stringent cook-chill process using blast chillers and combi ovens. Food boxes that can carry both hot and cold foods without losing more than 1 degree Celsius per hour were essential to getting HACCP safe food to its destination among the aged care residents. The project includes 8 cold rooms, 3 combi ovens (capacity of 70 gastronorm trays at once), 2 x 8 burner cooktops, grill plate and char grill, 2 steam kettles and 8 basket deep fryers. There are separate areas for food prep, specialised catering, separate cold and dry storage, delivery and wash down. The commercial kitchen of Torbay Aged Care & Retirement Village was designed to strictly comply with Australia’s food safety standards.
