The design across the sixteen-hectare site includes accommodation, restoration of the Butter and Cheese factories and a bridge over one of the creeks on site. The scheme also embraces the opportunity to revegetate the area with wetlands and parklands. Careful siting of all accommodation buildings within the landscape and oversight of the masterplan has been essential to realising this stage of the project.
The Kongwak Butter Factory redevelopment unlocks a multitude of opportunities for employment, tourism and revival of local production in the area. The ambition is for the heritage to be preserved and to create a world class destination while balancing the demands of community and culture of place.
