Just quietly making this place the best we can make it! We are super excited to offer these new units and kitchen block to future campers.
Collingwood camp renovations underway! The Collingwood Holiday Park at the northern end of Golden Bay is more than 86 years old, officially opening and operating since January 1940.
We manage the holiday park directly, which is one of six Council-owned campgrounds and holiday parks across the District.
While some of the campground facilities are bright and shiny after renovations over recent years, there was one area of the park which is a bit old and tired, needing a tidy up, and that’s happening right now.
Work is underway on the $487,000 project, with the majority of construction being done while the park is closed for its annual winter shutdown from Monday 27 July until Tuesday 27 August.
Five old end-of-life cabins and a camp kitchen will be replaced with three new accommodation units complete with kitchenettes and ensuites, plus a new shared camp kitchen for guests to enjoy.
BPM is managing this design and build project in partnership with Potius Ltd, using their prefabricated panels manufactured right here in the Tasman District, and local builders Aorere Construction Ltd will be on the tools.
It’s a precious and sensitive site for iwi, so an archaeologist will be on hand working alongside iwi monitors.
So, it is a win for sustainability and speed on site, which has the added benefit of less disruption to winter holiday park users.
