Searipple Village

Overview

Fleetwood delivered a full turn-key solution as part of a build, own and operate business model used for the Searipple Workers Accommodation Village in Karratha, Western Australia. The purpose-built village is set upon 15 hectares with over 1,300 rooms and is one of the largest accommodation villages in Western Australia. Fleetwood now operates the village and has recently implemented an adaptable energy management system to 622 of the rooms with the help of Glyde, a Fleetwood operated company delivering solutions through the Internet of Things (IoT). The next phase will include applying the system to the remainder of the rooms plus shared areas such as the gym and administration building.

Solution

The Searipple Village features queen and king single rooms with ensuites and includes a gymnasium, two swimming pools, a football field and basketball court for its residents. The village also offers three dining facilities and a fully licensed tavern for the residents to utilise throughout their time. The layout of the accommodation village is conducive to that of a local community with several communal areas allowing for residents to congregate in their free time.

Benefits

The Searipple Village was developed initially as a construction camp and in recent times as a modular accommodation village. Searipple’s key focus is providing guests with short and long term affordable, quality accommodation. Fleetwood is proud to have provided this accommodation solution as it has assisted the resources and construction sector within in the Pilbara, which have generated thousands of jobs for the local community.
