The Tarkine Experience

Inspiring Place

Client: WWF Australia

Jury Citation: Funded by the WWF Australia (formerly the World Wildlife Fund Australia) the Tarkine Experience project is an innovative example of deeply considered Strategic Planning on a broad regional scale.

Inspiring Place utilised an interdisciplinary approach driven by ‘Thematic Interpretation’ and encompassing site planning and tourist product development. The project also included a very comprehensive Business Assessment to demonstrate the potential for the establishment of a tourist development in an environmentally sensitive area as a sustainable alternative to damaging resource extraction.

The range of disciplines involved and the level of detail attained at each phase can only enhance the projects capacity to influence the decision makers. The project meets all three criteria in this category at a very high level.
