A complete controls and SCADA modernisation of the Eco Village treatment plant — migrated onto a Schneider Electric Modicon M340 platform with a fully rebuilt Studio SCADA interface designed around real plant operation.
Currumbin Eco Village operates a fully integrated wastewater and recycled water treatment system — managing everything from sewage collection and surge handling through to treatment, storage, pump stations, and recycled water distribution across the community.
The original control system had become increasingly difficult to maintain. Critical hardware was reaching end-of-life, replacement parts were becoming scarce, and the legacy programming environment was no longer compatible with modern engineering systems. Ongoing supportability and long-term reliability had become a growing operational risk.
Beyond the ageing hardware, the plant had evolved significantly over time, leaving operators working around limitations in the original control philosophy and SCADA layout.
Goto Engineering delivered a complete controls and SCADA modernisation of the Eco Village treatment plant — migrating the site onto a modern Schneider Electric Modicon M340 PLC platform with a fully rebuilt Studio SCADA interface.
The upgrade was engineered around real plant operation, not just a like-for-like replacement. Every screen, control sequence and operator interaction was redesigned to improve usability, visibility and maintainability across the facility.
The new platform provides a stable, serviceable foundation for future expansion while significantly improving day-to-day operation of the treatment plant.
New control cabinets built and installed alongside the existing plant, with the cutover staged so the Eco Village stayed in service throughout.
The Currumbin Eco Village recycled water treatment plant now operates on a modern, fully supportable Schneider Electric control platform with a clean, intuitive SCADA interface designed around real plant operation.
The legacy system has been successfully retired, removing the ongoing risks associated with obsolete hardware, unsupported software and difficult maintenance.
With a modern controls foundation now in place, the site is positioned for future expansion — including additional pump stations, advanced process control, expanded reporting, remote access capabilities and continued infrastructure upgrades as the facility evolves.
The result is a far more maintainable, operator-friendly and scalable system that gives the Eco Village confidence in the long-term reliability of its critical water infrastructure.
