Boggabri Village Workforce Accommodation

The Boggabri Village project was developed to support a new mining operation in the Boggabri region, providing accommodation for a workforce of 850 people—exceeding the population of the adjacent town. This large-scale project integrated essential infrastructure, including a new sewer treatment plant, water supply system, and electrical generation facilities.

Designed for both functionality and community well-being, the central facilities were built to cater to 500 people per sitting, serving meals three times a day. Beyond accommodation, the village featured recreation spaces, including a gym and a swimming pool, creating a well-rounded living environment for workers.

​Careful site planning ensured seamless road connections and infrastructure integration while maintaining generous spacing between units. Thoughtfully placed trees, footpaths, and green spaces transformed the workforce facility into a liveable and welcoming community. With a total project cost of $66 million, Boggabri Village stands as a significant development in regional workforce accommodation.
