Cassowary Modular Build Commences in Kiunga
11 July 2016
Steamships - Pacific Palms Property (PPP) and Coral Sea Hotels (CSH) partner with Ok Tedi Development Foundation (OTDF) to bring Cassowary Hotel to the township of Kiunga, Western Province.
Cassowary Hotel will have 40 rooms and it is set to open in January 2017. Ok Tedi Development Foundation’s Cassowary Hotel Project is project managed by Pacific Palms Property and will be operated by Coral Sea Hotels. “Coral Sea Hotels are absolutely dedicated to making this project a success. We’re very proud to be selected as the company to run this hotel project and we promise you that we’ll give you a successful hotel.
We promise you that we’ll give you skills, we’ll give you training, we’ll give opportunities that you can carry through the rest of your life. We’ll look at opening this hotel early next year but we’ll be on site about October (2016) and at that point we’ll be looking at recruitment and all the training and development necessary to open this wonderful facility,” Mr Murphy said. Kiunga is a geographically challenging location for any type of construction project and it was anticipated that delivery would be challenging.
Pacific Palms Property division took the challenge to assist Ok Tedi Development Foundation to project manage the design and build of Cassowary Hotel and achieve the individual expectations of OTDF and the people of Kiunga.
