It’s been a really good outcome for us. We obviously plan for the worst
and hope for the best. And this year has seen that we’ve had a really good
break in the weather and been able to successfully get a lot of cargo off for us.
A lot of the buildings there have been there for quite a significant period of time and
they’re starting to show the signs of their age and so the key aim of this project is
to obviously refurbish these buildings and upgrade them to a safe and appropriate standard.
So our year will have a bigger than usual contingent of trades people. So there’s 21 people
total for our year and a large contingent of those people are trades folk
and their job will be to get stuck into those big improvement projects. So previous years have done
some ground work for us but this year is the first year we get really stuck into about a six or eight
year project of improving the infrastructure.
This first year our primary objective is really setting the station up to help support the construction over the next few years.
One of our key focuses is refurbishing the main accommodation building on the island.
Plenty on. Everyone will be busy but hopefully with a bit of time to get out and about as well.
