Village construction works continue

The Village building works continue at pace with the fourth and final phase to be delivered in the middle of 2014. On completion the $260 million dollar Village will have the capacity to house 3,500 workers. Stages two and three are well under way with accommodation modules in place verandas are being added and amenities hooked up. About 75 per cent of the covered walk ways have been completed over the concrete paths linking the village buildings together. This week contractors Laing O’Rourke, will oversee 12 new accommodation modules being delivered to the Village. To make way for the next phase, the buildings which provided temporary office accommodation will be moved to a holding yard in Winnellie.

With phase one completed and operational almost 300 workers have moved in, and a total of 1,000 rooms are now available for occupancy. Residents are already enjoying the gym and other completed recreational facilities while finishing touches are being added to the eight- lane 25 metre pool, beach volleyball courts, and the outdoor/indoor cricket pitch.

Living well, keeping healthy

Buslink VIVO will transport our workforce safely from point to point. Their new bus depot, located on Howard Springs Road, will become operational this weekend. The depot can accommodate 80 coaches and on-site staff parking. Guided by an approved Road Transport Management Plan, the Buslink VIVO buses transport workers to and from Manigurr-ma and Blaydin Point, from

various park and ride locations across Darwin to our sites, from Manigurr-ma to local shops in Darwin, Casuarina and Palmerston on rest days and evenings, and from other points in the Darwin area. The facility will initially house 42 buses, 48 drivers, and 22 support staff, and well equipped workshops. Later this year up to 62 buses will be operating from the depot.

Manigurr-ma Village is operated by ESS Larrakia. Using food sourced only from local wholesale suppliers, at peak occupancy 20 chefs and 25 kitchen staff working over a 24-hour period will serve up to 1,750 high quality, freshly prepared meals per hour during breakfast and dinner every day. During peak occupancy, Manigurr-ma will use the following ingredients each day:
