Township of
Weipa was officially opened by the Premier of Queensland, Hon G.F.R. (Frank) Nicklin. The opening monument, comprising a tri-lon of three cast aluminium stelae, is situated on parkland near the
Weipa Town Authority centre at Kumrumja.
The
Weipa township and aerodrome were formally excluded from the
Cook Shire and constituted a separate local authority area under the terms of the Commonwealth Aluminium Corporation Pty Limited Agreement Act of 1957. A new
Weipa airport commenced operation with the arrival of an Ansett ANA Fokker Friendship aircraft on 11 October.
