Tyto Wetlands

RPS is responsible for the overall masterplanning, design and delivery of the Tyto Wetlands Project, a Q150 initiative with the Queensland State Government and Hinchinbrook Shire Council. The project focuses on providing local employment via the development of a sustainable regional tourism facility, comprising of the internationally recognised Tyto wetlands and associated environmental interpretation facilities as well as employment generation via the provision of a food and learning precinct.

Our Masterplan incorporates the development of extensive interpretative trails, elevated boardwalks and landscape elements which celebrate the natural environment as well as indigenous and European culture. A core focus was the implementation of sustainable design elements into all facets of the design including materials selection, energy use and water treatment. Extensive community consultation via interactive workshops and presentations also formed part of our scope and ensured that the project was enthusiastically embraced by the entire Ingham community.
