SYNERGY KING ROCKS WIND FARM - ACCOMODATION VILLAGE & WATER/ WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Centurion supported Synergy’s King Rocks Wind Farm with a 189-room accommodation village, including ongoing hospitality services, and a custom water and wastewater treatment plant. Delivered through BBB Remote Site Services and Centurion Water & Wastewater Solutions, the project combines comfort, quality, and compliance for remote conditions.
Overview
Construction of Synergy’s King Rocks Wind Farm is now underway near Hyden in Western Australia’s Wheatbelt region. The project will feature 17 turbines generating up to 105 megawatts of renewable energy, supporting WA’s transition to cleaner power.
Centurion is playing a key role in supporting the project through two of our specialist business lines – BBB Remote Site Services and Centurion Water & Wastewater Solutions – demonstrating how we deliver practical, integrated support for remote infrastructure projects.
Our scope included the design, manufacture and delivery of a 189-person accommodation village and custom-built water and wastewater treatment plants. These works are now complete, with Centurion continuing to provide catering, cleaning and full camp management services for the duration of the project’s construction phase.
Delivered under a Build, Own and Operate (BOO) model, Synergy engaged Centurion as a single turnkey partner to manage the entire project. We oversaw all coordination and on-site supervision of subcontracted trades, removing the need for multiple contractors and ensuring smooth delivery from fabrication and installation through to ongoing operations.
Challenges faced by the client
The project presented several logistical and operational challenges typical of large-scale renewable energy projects in remote regions:
- Distance and accessibility
The remote Hyden location required modular designs that could be transported and installed safely and cost-effectively, with minimal need for heavy lifting equipment.
- Tight timelines
The accommodation village needed to be ready ahead of construction of the wind farm to house rotating DIDO workforces, while ensuring compliance with strict safety and environmental standards.
- Integrated utilities
The client required reliable water and wastewater infrastructure to support the camp workforce, with minimal operator input and full regulatory compliance.
- Resident wellbeing
As workers would live on site for extended periods, the camp needed to provide a comfortable, safe, and community-oriented environment.
- Local community engagement
Synergy sought a partner who could actively support and contribute to the local community. With the wind farm expected to operate for decades, maintaining a positive and sustained relationship with the Hyden and surrounding communities was a key priority, from employing local workers and sourcing supplies locally to finding other meaningful ways to give back.
What Centurion delivered and how challenges were overcome
Centurion delivered a complete end-to-end solution, managing all design, construction, commissioning, and operational elements through the one, accountable partner.
Accommodation and Camp Operations
- Designed, manufactured, and constructed a 189-room accommodation village, including communal facilities, a quiet room, prayer rooms, female only gym, BBQs, recreational spaces and licensed premises.
- Implemented side-loadable building technology, allowing safer, faster, and more cost-effective installation without cranes or pilot vehicles.
- Delivered full camp management services, including catering, cleaning, and maintenance – ensuring a seamless transition from construction to operations.
- Designed a comfortable living environment with spacious rooms, quality finishes, chef-prepared meals and a fan-shaped village layout with open walkways. This layout maximises privacy, creates a central hub and naturally brings residents together for a stronger community feel.
Community and Compliance
- Appointed a Community Engagement & Wellness Coordinator to build meaningful connections with the Hyden community and support local engagement.
- Prioritised local procurement and employment, sourcing supplies and trades from Hyden, Kondinin, and the broader Wheatbelt region.
- All works were delivered under ISO 9001, 45001 and 14001 certified systems covering quality, safety, and environmental management.
Water and Wastewater Treatment
- Designed and installed a custom water and wastewater treatment plant built for reliability, minimal maintenance, and compliance with Department of Health standards, and the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DEWA).
- Systems were commissioned and verified to meet strict environmental standards, ensuring safe, efficient operation for the duration of the project.
- Ongoing performance monitoring covers KPIs such as uptime, water quality, and resident satisfaction.
Why This Project Stood Out
One Partner, Complete Accountability
By delivering accommodation, camp services and utility systems under one contract, Centurion simplified the delivery of the project for Synergy. With one point of contact managing design, fabrication, construction, commissioning, and ongoing operation, interface risks and delays were significantly reduced.
Innovation in Camp Design
The side-loadable modular design was a key innovation – our largest to date. The 3.3-metre-wide, three-bedroom modules were originally developed for a major renewable project in NSW and proved to be ideal for remote Western Australian conditions.
Focus on Comfort and Wellbeing
Beyond compliance and functionality, this camp feels like a community. The fan-shaped village layout creates a central hub that naturally brings people together, while also maintaining privacy between rooms. Combined with modern ensuite accommodation, wellness spaces and quality meals, every element is designed to support comfort and productivity – crucial for morale and retention on remote projects
Positive Local and Environmental Impact
Centurion’s commitment to local participation and sustainability has and will continue to strengthen community ties, ensuring the project delivers shared value – not just infrastructure.
Summary
The King Rocks Wind Farm project demonstrates the strength of Centurion’s integrated model – combining BBB Remote Site Services’ accommodation and camp management expertise with Centurion Water & Wastewater Solutions’ technical capability. Together, they delivered a fully functional, compliant, and welcoming village that supports renewable energy infrastructure in regional WA while building community value along the way.
