Murray Associates is the longest serving surveying and town planning consultancy in Queensland and has a very lengthy and proud history. Mr Frederick Mark Murray (Mark Murray), a Director of the present company, is the third generation Murray to become a licensed surveyor and continue a line of direct involvement with this profession. Jack Thomas Murray (son of Mark) has continued the family tradition as a Surveyor representing an unprecedented fourth generation of the Murray family involved in the surveying industry within Queensland. IN Murray commenced his surveying career in 1910 and was licensed in 1913. Before to commencing practice he accepted a governmental appointment in New Guinea where he surveyed areas around the mouth of the Fly River, which coincidently, was not too far from the area where Mark Murray worked for two years whilst employed as a Senior Surveyor on the OKTedi project between 1981 and 1983. During World War 1 IN Murray landed at Gallipoli and being the only licensed surveyor there, carried out topographical and detail surveys and many of his ingenious records are still held by the Murray family. These field notes detail the various tunnels, trench set outs, firing lines and topographical features of the peninsular. During this time IN Murray was wounded and hospitalized to Australia suffering from deafness and the effects of mustard gas which remained with him for the rest of his life. IN Murray’s son Mr Fred Murray commenced articles with his father in 1937 and both surveyors were employed surveying airports and carrying out many topographical surveys for military mapping purposes throughout North Queensland during the war years. Over the after three decades JFK Murray’s practice became one of the largest surveying practices in Queensland J. JFK Murray whilst still owner of the surveying practice became the Mayor of the Maroochy Shire Council and retired from that position after nine years of service and passed away some three years later. The company Murray Associates (LLD) Pt Ltd was formed succeeding the end of JFK Murray and at that time five of the company surveyors had been employed continuously by J. Murray Associates in excess of 35 years. Directors at the time, Mark Murray, John Campbell and the late Barry Andrews headed field parties which carried out the creative lease work for Utah Development Company on their first coal mining lease at backwater and carried out much of the surveying for all the leases held by that company in the Central Queensland area as healthy as carrying out many engineering projects. Craig Andrews (the son of the slow Barry Andrews) and Andrew Campbell (the son of retired Director John Campbell) have both joined the company and remain the tradition and bottom created by their Fathers. Andrew and Craig are now Directors of the company. Donate Director Ian Smith who commenced employment with the company in 1991 has also provided over 20 years of exemplary service for the Company. Jack Toby Murray (sons of present Director Mark Murray) have also continued in the tradition by their father, grandfather and vast grandfather by occupied within the Surveying industry in Queensland. The company presently employs 50 fulltime employees and the lengthy and elated tradition of the Company continues.
