Overview

Our Building and Development Services Team have received a Development Application (DA) for the installation and operation of temporary workers accommodation. The proposal aims to house up to 134 workers who will support a range of regional infrastructure projects.

With several major infrastructure projects on the horizon, many of the required workers are expected to come from outside the local area. This accommodation is intended to meet their housing needs, helping to ease pressure on the existing rental market and protect local and tourist accommodation from potential shortages.

The proposed site will include:

  • 33 single-storey units for four people each
  • 1 accessible single-storey unit for two people
  • Supporting facilities such as 68 car parking spaces, a bus turning area, dining room, laundry, reception, and relaxation areas.

  • The DA is supported by architectural plans and a range of specialist reports, including; Environmental Sustainability Report, Traffic Impact Assessment, and Social Impact Assessment.

    The application will be on public exhibition from 9am, Friday 5 September 2025 until 5pm, Thursday 25 September 2025.

    Community members are invited to review the proposal and make formal submissions during this period.
