Beyond just a place to stay, this development has been especially designed to enhance well-being, safety and security of our residents.
Grounded group is diversifying its business model by offering build, own, and operate worker accommodation solutions tailored to the mining and resource sectors. Our latest development, South Hedland Regional Accommodation (SHRA), is set to become the 'accommodation of choice' in the Port Hedland region.
The proposed development will represent a forward thinking, visionary community with a fresh outlook on workers' accommodation solutions. With 250 'best in class' rooms and 15 three-bedroom residential styled townhouses, SHRA will offer a diverse range of accommodation solutions to suit local workforce requirements.
LOCATION
Port Hedland is the second largest town in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, located around 1,800km north of Perth.
With a population of around 16,000, Port Hedland has become a diverse and vibrant town renowned for being the world’s largest bulk export port. The town’s importance to the Australian economy is indisputable, as is its vital role within the resource sector on both a national and international scale. The burgeoning resource industry has created an increased demand for both short-term and permanent accommodation solutions in Port Hedland.
This demand for accommodation is further heightened by the town’s unique location, which attracts many tourists seeking to experience its rich indigenous culture and natural spectacles, such as the phenomenal Staircase to the Moon and the picturesque gorges of Karijini National Park, located only a few hours away.
Grounded is transforming traditional workforce camp style living into a vibrant, modern community.
