The Caloundra Water Tank is located in Queen Street and it had its makeover in December 2014.

It stands Seven metres tall and is now 78 years-old. The iconic landmark in the past was an easy target for graffiti vandalism, but now stands proud with a stunning display of native flora and fauna, a tranquil hinterland scene.

Painted by unknown local artists in conjunction with Unitywater.
