Project Spotlight – Iron Creek Bay Farm Stay
The property has been designed around five key targets:
1. Design and build towards a low carbon footprint for carbon capture and storage across the site. 5500 m3 tonne of CLT. 3250 m3 of plantation-grown hardwood cladding.
2. Strive only to use Australian-grown and manufactured products.
3. Deal with the power generation (microgrid) and water and sewerage deposal onsite—six hundred forty solar panels and battery storage across the site.
4. Cater for family groups and budget traveller's experience.
5. Cater for a growing tourism market that is both local and international and based on short stays and a base from which to explore the surrounding tourist destinations.
We carried out the role of Building Surveyor for this project which links farm stay accommodation, a farm restaurant, and agricultural operations on one site.
