Kowanyama Community Housing

our services: planning, compliance & approvals, construction documentation

location: Kowanyama Aboriginal Shire Council

Size: over 40 individual dwellings

completed: Since 2007

With long standing relationships, we have designed & documented a significant number of dwellings for these communities. Most typically, the houses are detailed to maximize the opportunity for the role of local workforce, thus creating training, employment and importantly local ownership. Whilst the designs must meet the exactly requirements of the Department codes, most importantly they each fulfill the ambitions of the individual families.

In Kowanyama we also had the opportunity to rehabilitate several derelict houses – lifting and duplexing them to return valuable accommodation to the Community. The outcomes achieved have indeed been very satisfying for the myriad team.
