The two villages will be designed to house over 700 workers and will offer a variety of modular homes and accommodation types that convert into legacy housing, ultimately transitioning to over 350 permanent homes for the region. The facilities will feature sustainable practices such as renewable energy solutions, green spaces, and modern social facilities. ASA is also planning to integrate electric bus and vehicle charging stations, further supporting the region’s transition to zero-emission transport.
Recognising the vital need for quality worker accommodation, Energy Estate formed a joint venture partnership with the aim of addressing this critical demand.
“Energy Estate develops several large-scale clean energy projects across regional Australia and we understand the acute housing pressures in so many of the regions that are hosting these projects. Establishing this joint venture with ASA allows us to not just talk about being a housing net positive renewables developer but to actually deliver housing solutions and create a legacy for the communities, starting with Central Queensland,” stated Simon Currie, Director of ASA.
ASA’s approach focuses on creating lasting community value, drawing together short-term worker accommodation with legacy housing that supports local economic growth and well-being.
“Our approach is twofold,” said Mark Hinman Founder and Director of ASA “We’re addressing the immediate needs of major infrastructure projects, while simultaneously planning for the long-term housing demands of the Rockhampton and wider Central Queensland region. This strategy ensures that our investments create lasting value for the communities where we build our villages.”
ASA plans to commence operations at both villages in 2025, setting a new standard in premium sustainable worker accommodation that will leave a long-term impact on regional communities and economic growth.
