Seaview Village – Hopetoun
 

Rapley Wilkinson was commissioned to construct a 54 unit group housing development at Hopetoun to accommodate construction staff working at the Ravensthorpe Nickel project, which is located 35 kilometres east of Ravensthorpe.

This was a challenging contract that called for the units to be built on stilts over a site with a 1:3 gradient. This was to preserve the natural vegetation while capturing the views of the Fitzgerald National Park on one side and panoramic views of the Southern Ocean on the other.


Construction was structural steel with suspended slab floors plus timber-framed walls clad in weatherboard and Colorbond, with Colorbond roofs.

During the official opening of the village, the General Manager of Ravensthorpe Nickel
commented that:
“Builder Rapley Wilkinson’s achievement is significant. This is a regional builder who demonstrated flexibility to deliver a new product, within short time frames while still meeting BHP Billiton’s high safety standards.”

Ravensthorpe Nickel Operations is wholly owned by BHP Billiton.
