Project Update | Bowylie Accommodation Village

A major milestone has been reached on another YARA Co project.

As the Design & Construct contractor, YARA is delivering the new 200-bed accommodation village to support the Woodlawn Copper-Zinc Mine, managing the project from design development and approvals through to construction, commissioning and handover.

Having successfully delivered the enabling works package that transformed the greenfield site into a construction-ready platform, our team is now leading the next phase of delivery with the installation of the first accommodation buildings.

The arrival of these buildings marks a significant step forward and provides the first real glimpse of the scale of the completed village. As Head Contractor, YARA continues to coordinate the delivery of accommodation, central facilities, utilities and supporting infrastructure as this landmark project takes shape.

We look forward to sharing further progress as construction continues.

Not every project can be shared in detail, but the outcomes speak for themselves.

Our team recently delivered rehabilitation and maintenance works on approximately 12 kilometres of unsealed roads within a secure operational precinct, improving access and network performance for site users.

Operating in environments where planning, safety, and coordination are critical, we focus on delivering reliable infrastructure with minimal disruption and lasting value.

The successful completion of this project reinforces YARA Co's capability to deliver civil infrastructure works in highly regulated and operational settings.

Building More Than Infrastructure. Creating Places for Community.

At YARA, we believe the best projects create more than physical assets. They create opportunities, strengthen communities and leave a lasting impact.

We're currently collaborating with a valued client to help transform an underutilised space into a vibrant public destination that will bring people together and contribute to the local hospitality and entertainment precinct. Through early contractor involvement, design refinement and delivery planning, we're helping shape a solution that balances community outcomes, functionality and value.

This project reflects what sets YARA apart. While we're proud of our construction capability, our focus extends beyond building infrastructure. We work alongside our clients to solve problems, improve outcomes and create places that people genuinely want to use and enjoy.

By combining commercial excellence with a commitment to community impact, we're helping deliver projects that leave a positive legacy long after construction is complete.

The YARA Co team completed a specialised concrete remediation package within the National Gallery of Australia's Stormwater Retention Tank, working inside a confined space with restricted access to restore structural integrity and extend the asset's service life.

The scope included hydro demolition at 20,000 psi to remove a defective waterproof membrane and deteriorated concrete, treatment of exposed reinforcement, placement of a low shrink concrete topping,
and reinstatement of the waterproof membrane system.

Restoring critical infrastructure where access is anything but simple. Every stage required careful planning, precision, and strict adherence to safety protocols, demonstrating the team's capability to deliver complex remediation works in challenging environments.

Throwback to a proud moment for YARA Co — giving young Wiradjuri artist Jayden McLachlan the opportunity to design and paint "Our Future," the artwork that now represents who we are.

Backing young First Nations talent is something we care about, and Jayden's work is a reminder of why. The piece tells a story of strong leadership, future generations, and community supporting community, with handprints and footprints marking the impact we hope to leave behind.

Grateful to Jayden for bringing this to life, and proud to keep giving young artists and young leaders the platform to do the same.

The Bowylie Accommodation Village – Civil & Earthworks Project is now complete, transforming a greenfield site into a fully serviced platform for a 200-room accommodation village supporting the Woodlawn Copper-Zinc Mine near Tarago, NSW.
