WEEKENDER

The Malawu “Weekender” residential development concept intends to create a discrete, luxury residential community, set within the natural beauty of North Bathurst Island.

A low scale, environmentally responsive built form is proposed to be developed within a secluded and elevated area of North Bathurst Island, facing north to afford spectacular views out to the ocean. The long white sand beach and cliffs form the perfect backdrop for this development.

A proposed boat ramp would provide water access for the fishing enthusiast. The concept would cater for semi-permanent residents comprising the local weekend and domestic tourist recreational market.

GLAMPING

Two amazing sites are showcased for tourism development. Wulirankuwu (Cape Lavery), situated to the north of Milikapiti on Melville Island and Wurankuwu (North) which is situated on the Bathurst Island.

An area to the west of Cape Lavery was selected as the preferred location for this type of development due to its prominent coastal views and proximity to existing tourist attractions and infrastructure.

Wurankuwu (North) is situated to the west of Ranku on Bathurst Island. The site is located adjacent to a beach which has high scenic amenity, and to the south of the site the wetlands provide opportunity for wild boar hunting.

CABINS

The Wurankuwu ‘Cabin’ concept is to create resort style accommodation with the convenience of communal facilities including a bar and restaurant, swimming pool and the services of housekeeping and room service.

The ‘cluster style’, 1 and 2 bedroom, private cabins are proposed to be set on Bathurst Island adjacent to the beach, close to walking tracks and accessible to a proposed boat ramp, making it the ideal holiday location.

The addition of a Helicopter Pad, would mean this accommodation and location would be easily accessible from both Darwin and other areas of the Islands, making it a tourist ‘hotspot’.
