Sugar Research Institute, Historic research facility in West Mackay, Queensland, Australia
The Sugar Research Institute building features two wings designed by architect Karl Langer and Harold Brown, situated at 239 Nebo Road in Mackay.
The establishment of Sugar Research Limited in 1949 marked a new era for Australian sugar production, with 22 companies representing 24 mills as original subscribers.
The Institute's landscaping incorporated royal palm trees along the perimeter, with each tree symbolizing a member mill of the organization.
The facility contains the Charles Young Conference Hall, which serves as a central venue for industry meetings and technological discussions.
The building demonstrates innovative architectural design principles specifically adapted for Queensland's climate conditions during the 1950s construction period.
