The Darwin Waterfront has been recognised for its commitment to tourism and accessibility, taking home multiple awards at two award ceremonies last week.
Last Saturday, the prestigious 2023 Brolga Awards celebrated the Territory’s tourism industry, with the Darwin Waterfront winning the Major Tourist Attraction category.
This achievement was followed by two awards at the NT Disability Inclusion Awards on Friday night, with Darwin Waterfront Corporation achieving the Inclusive Communities Award and the 2023 Overall Award for Excellence.
The awards recognised the Darwin Waterfront Corporation’s dedication to enhancing tourism in the Northern Territory and providing safe, accessible and unique options for visitors.
Darwin Waterfront Corporation Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Sam Burke said the awards represented the hard work of the entire team and businesses within the precinct. “The Darwin Waterfront would not be an award-winning destination without the people who work tirelessly to ensure visitors to our precinct have a positive and welcoming experience,” Mr Burke said.
“The work we’ve completed over the past 12 months to improve accessibility across the venue, including the introduction of priority seating in the Wave Lagoon, daily roll-out of our MobiMat and construction of new parking and event facilities continues to cement our position as the Territory’s premier lifestyle destination.”
“Congratulations to everyone who was nominated for the awards, we are so proud to be part of this amazing community and to work with dedicated organisations and individuals who are committed to making the Territory a better place for people to live, work and visit.”
