Christmas Island - Housing Project
Project Service: Government infrastructure
Client: Government of Western Australia
Location: Indian Ocean, 2600 km north west of Perth, Western Australia
Start Date: 2005
Completion Date: 2005
The scope of this project included the design and construction 160 accommodation units. The
project consisted of two existing town sites with road frontages that were redeveloped with each
site accommodating 22 dwelling units, with car parking and landscaped areas. The units were
completed in six months under difficult logistical, resources and time constraints.
The other two designated sites were located in dense jungle on precipitous terrain with
extensive rock out crops which required major earthworks. Both sites accommodated a total of
138 dwelling units in blocks of 32, located at various plateau levels, allowing ease of access for
car parking whilst providing spectacular views of the Indian Ocean.
