WATER- THE NEW GOLD! The sourcing of huge volumes of fresh water to meet the needs of Western Australia (and other water stressed countries) is now a critical issue. 60 South P/L's mission is to develop a sustainable source of supply of fresh water for Western Australia by harvesting a small fraction of the immense volumes of fresh water that exists in icebergs drifting to its south. Iceberg management is now a highly developed science led by Canada and France. Iceberg water harvesting and transportation (currently being considered by Middle East countries) is a plausible alternative to multi-billion dollar, energy hungry, desalination plants ..60 South is seeking investment to allow mobilisation of a 4 year R&D program taking 7 years of study to the next step of proving concepts in the field. Included is sourcing and processing fresh water to meet the burgeoning demand for packaged water around the world. Potentially a multi-billion dollar industry for Western Australia creating many jobs.Attributes:Registered building practitioner Western Australia since 1973.Developed and built landmark projects (including $700m QV1 office tower in Perth CBD).Lived and worked in Australia, UK, Hong Kong, New Zealand, South Pacific (Cook Islands), Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Kuwait and Oman..Sport:Builder/Owner/Skipper of yacht 'Parmelia'​.
