Whitsunday Regional Council
Widely known as one of the world’s finest tourist destinations, Australia’s Whitsunday is acclaimed for its striking scenery and lush beaches. Famous for the Whitsunday Islands – a group of 74 Islands off the coast of Queensland and part of the Great Barrier Reef – the area’s many pristine beaches, coral reefs, and designated national parks are popular not only with tourists but locals, and visited by hundreds of thousands every year. Rich in history, the area’s name comes from Captain James Cook who, awed by the natural beauty, named it Whit Sunday, after the seventh Sunday following Easter. Although Cook’s date was incorrect, the name remained.
Lipman
This was an unusual project by any standards, according to project manager Rob Darling. A New South Wales government project that went to tender, with Sydney-based construction and property specialists Lipman the winning contractor. Strictly speaking, the client was the Taronga Conservation Society of NSW, the operator of Sydney’s famous Taronga Zoo. But really, Rob admits, the end clients were the chimpanzees.
