Refurbishment of Geordie Bay units commencing in April
The program of work planned for Geordie Bay follows the upgrades to 48 units in South Thomson, which were completed in September 2022. The accommodation refurbishment program is a key initiative outlined in the Rottnest Island Management Plan 2023-2028, which aims to renew and expand Stay Rottnest accommodation through a phased approach to upgrade self-contained units. The next phase of the program is scheduled for 2025-26 with the refurbishment of 52 units in Fay’s Bay and Longreach Bay.
A total of 51 units at Geordie Bay will receive upgrades which include:
- Modernising kitchens and bathrooms
- Refurbishing bedrooms and living areas
- Installing new flooring, fixtures and fittings
- Replacing ageing windows and doors
- Upgrading of balconies and courtyard amenities including barbeques and seating
The refurbished Geordie Bay units will re-open in time for the September 2024 school holidays.
The improvement of amenities across the island is continuing with significant ablution upgrades at Narrow Neck and the Settlement Mall scheduled to commence from April. These continue the ablution upgrade program with Longreach Bay, Geordie Bay, The Basin, West End and the Visitors Centre already completed.
