The City of Gold Coast Council Chambers in Surfers Paradise needed a flexible outdoor shading solution for its courtyard seating area, one that could adapt to the sun’s movement throughout the day. VECTOR Shade Structures delivered a series of retractable and rotating engineered umbrellas, their sweeping canopies mounted on slender cantilevered posts so staff and visitors can adjust coverage as needed.
Each umbrella is clad in Ferrari 502 fabric, chosen for its durability and rich, consistent colour retention, while the supporting steelwork is hot dip galvanised and finished with a 2-pack paint system for long-term corrosion resistance. These engineered umbrellas are part of VECTOR’s commercial umbrellas range, purpose-built for civic and hospitality spaces alike.
The finished umbrellas now give council staff and visitors a comfortable, adaptable outdoor space to meet and relax, adding a polished architectural touch to the Council Chambers precinct.
