Safer, more vibrant public spaces built
for long-term performance
From entertainment venues and sports facilities to parks, resorts and foreshore precincts, OmniGrip Direct is redefining standards in safer, smarter and more sustainable public environments across Australia.
Tourism and recreation spaces face constant public use, vehicle movement, cleaning activity, weather exposure and aesthetic expectations that place ongoing pressure on visibility, accessibility and safe movement, while budgets, maintenance resources and operational schedules continue to tighten.
We work closely with Councils, asset owners and contractors as a single-delivery partner with national reach and local expertise. We design, supply and install certified, high-performance surfacing, smart lighting, signage and traffic-calming systems that enhance accessibility, improve visitor safety and minimise maintenance and lifecycle costs across high-use environments.
70%+ of visitors want change
Most tourists and eventgoers expect stronger action to cut carbon across Australia’s recreation and tourism sectors.
$1.32 trillion £ contribution
Tourism, arts and recreation accounted for 4.4% of Australia’s economy in 2023–24.

Shared user paths
Shared user paths in parks, foreshore trails, and tourism precincts experience constant wear from mixed traffic: cyclists, pedestrians, prams, and mobility devices. Wet weather, fading surfaces, and poor visibility increase slip and crash risks, while inadequate lighting or unclear markings reduce safety and confidence for visitors. Our solutions deliver long-life traction, clear visual guidance, and energy-efficient illumination, strengthening safety, accessibility, and appearance for all users year-round.
Solutions:
Delivers durable slip resistance and vibrant colour (red, yellow, green) to define movement zones on high-traffic paths
Solar or battery-powered models trace path edges and centre lines with dusk-activated illumination, while hard-wired sensors signal cyclist–vehicle or pedestrian–vehicle zones
Adds invisible traction to polished or decorative surfaces without changing appearance, preserving architectural finishes
Extend safe, inviting path use through evenings with energy-efficient, off-grid illumination
Guides visitors confidently through parks, trails, and recreation precincts, while Photoluminescent Signage illuminates wayfinding during low light or power outages
Stairs & seating
Stairs and seating areas experience constant use during events, wet weather, and cleaning cycles that quickly wear down grip and markings. Slippery surfaces, faded edges, and poor visibility increase the risk of slips and injuries, while dull or uneven finishes detract from the visitor experience and accessibility. Our solutions provide durable traction, defined contrast, and low-glare illumination that keep stairs, seating, and tiered zones safe, compliant, and visually appealing in all conditions.
Solutions:
Provides a long-life, high-traction finish in custom colours that lift aesthetic appeal and align with venue or precinct branding across steps, terraces, and viewing tiers
Adds invisible slip resistance to stone, concrete and tiled surfaces without altering finish or original appearance
Along with PL stair nosing, provides self-illuminating edge definition to stairs and aisles during low light or power loss
Solar or battery-powered models accentuate stairways and seating tiers with subtle, low-glare guidance at night
Clearly identifies routes, seating zones, and accessible entries, ensuring intuitive crowd flow
Viewing areas & boardwalks
Exposure to rain, salt, and foot traffic causes viewing decks and boardwalks to become slippery and weathered, diminishing both safety and aesthetic appeal. Inadequate lighting and unclear boundaries further impact visitor confidence and accessibility after dark. Our solutions provide durable, low-maintenance traction, energy-efficient illumination, and clear guidance systems that preserve natural beauty while improving safety, ambience, and accessibility day and night.
Our solutions:
Delivers durable slip-resistance and vibrant custom-colours finishes that lift aesthetic appeal and reflect natural surroundings or coastal branding, while withstanding high use and weather exposure
Adds transparent grip to timber, stone or concrete decking while preserving visual character
Bollards and kerb separators define viewing zones and prevent unauthorised vehicle access
Provide low-glare, energy-efficient illumination that enhances ambience and night-time usability without intrusive overhead lighting
Wayfinding signage combines functional direction with storytelling elements to elevate the visitor experience
Carparks & parking bays
Tourism and recreation carparks handle constant turnover, exposure to weather, and heavy use that wear down surfaces and markings. Poor lighting and confusing layouts increase congestion, near misses, and accessibility challenges for unfamiliar visitors. Frequent repainting and resurfacing add unnecessary cost and disruption. Our solutions deliver long-life traction, clear guidance, and low-glare lighting that improve safety, navigation, and durability while reducing maintenance cycles and operational downtime.
Our solutions:
Provides durable traction and vibrant colour definition for EV charging, pram, accessible and general bays, enhancing visual consistency with site branding
Enhance guidance and delineation in dimly lit or multi-level car parks with battery-powered models, and in outdoor car parks with solar-powered models
Provide low-glare illumination for outdoor or remote carparks without electrical wiring
Wayfinding signage directs vehicles efficiently and reduces congestion in busy or unfamiliar layouts
Bollards, wheel stops and speed humps manage vehicle speeds, manage movement and delineate pedestrian-priority zones
Detect and alert to vehicle movement in shared access or blind-spot areas
Provides long-lasting markings that define bays, flow, and pedestrian routes with visual clarity
Stadium concourse
Crowded concourses, wet weather, and constant foot traffic create slip risks, congestion, and poor visibility, especially during large events or evening use. Worn surfaces, unclear pathways, and inadequate lighting can reduce safety, accessibility and weaken the overall visitor experience. Our solutions strengthen safety, flow, and the vibrancy with durable traction, seamless wayfinding, and energy-efficient illumination that keep concourses compliant, welcoming, and reliable year-round.
Our solutions:
Delivers long-life, slip-resistant finishes in bold, custom colours that lift aesthetic appeal and mirror the venue’s branding, creating vibrant, built to perform under crowd pressure
Provide low-glare, energy-efficient illumination that enhances ambience and night-time usability without intrusive overhead lighting
Defines clear evacuation routes and stair transitions with self-illuminating guidance that stays visible during low light or power loss
Guide staff and visitors confidently
Integrate directional clarity with visual identity to enhance navigation, crowd flow, and brand cohesion across large venues
Use bollards and modular barriers to define pedestrian boundaries, maintain order, and protect access zones before, during, and after events
Provide seamless, energy-efficient illumination that guides movement through entries, exits, and pedestrian corridors with low-glare precision and atmosphere after dark
