This luxurious 6 star resort is located in the Wolgan Valley one hour from Lithgow; Access during construction was by a narrow gravel road with river crossings.
The resort comprises the main building with spa and treatment rooms, restaurant, lounge areas, gymnasium, tennis court and swimming pool.
There are also 40 separate individual buildings, each with its own living and bedroom areas, private indoor / outdoor pool and verandas.
During construction neither mobile phone reception nor land lines were available to the site, and temporary electrical, water supply and sewerage services needed to be established.
To get concrete delivered to the site required a round trip of 2.5 hours from Lithgow, this greatly restricted the size of any concrete pour.
The work was carried out during challenging weather conditions, some days the fog blanket did not lift until 10.30am and steps had to be taken to prevent the water pipes and toilets from freezing.
The nearest food supplies were 45 minutes from the site.
This magnificent $95 million resort was completed in just 24 months.
This project is truly worthy to be named the winner of the “Outstanding Construction Project of the Year”.
