Taronga Zoo is Australia’s leading zoological garden. Jackson Teece was commissioned to develop a master plan in which visitors’ experiences would be transformed via themed exhibits, displaying animals in their natural bio-geographical zones.
The Wild Asia Precinct was the initial major stage of the implementation of this master plan. This mega exhibit consists of a uniquely-themed combination of animal exhibits and visitor amenities that have been purposefully designed to replicate the natural environment of a Southeast Asian rainforest.
Jackson Teece worked with a large number of subcontractors, reporting to the Zoo’s Project Manager, to deliver 21 buildings, this included exhibit enclosures, night holding spaces, viewing pavilions, aviaries, education spaces and retail.
