Samphire Staff Accommodation
Rottnest Island Authority has assessed a development application to develop accommodation for staff working at Hotel Rottnest, Isola and Samphire Rottnest.
Overview
The Rottnest Island Authority has assessed a proposal for the development of staff accommodation to support Hotel Rottnest, Isola, and Samphire Rottnest. This initiative, critical to the Rottnest Island Management Plan 2023-28, aims to address the pressing staff housing shortage, particularly during peak seasons.
The development, located in the Thomson Bay Settlement Area on Parker Point Road, was to house up to 211 occupants, including a mix of managerial and key worker rooms, along with communal facilities. Garrett Hospitality, as the development proponent, was working in tandem with Christou, a Perth-based firm, to bring this project to fruition.
- 1 Site Manager’s Unit
- 5 Executive Manager Units
- 14 Managers’ Units
- 28 Supervisor Rooms
- 60 Key Worker Rooms
- Communal facilities
The Development Application did not proceed due to constraints on the site.
