Reefton Campground Accommodation Project cabins on track for August delivery

Buller District Council is pleased to confirm that the Reefton Campground Accommodation Project continues to make good progress, with delivery of the new cabins to site scheduled for early August.

These accommodation units, which are being constructed at South Peak Homes' Westport factory, are now at the internal fit-out stage. Internal painting, kitchen and appliance installation and general finishing is underway this month.  

Once delivered, the cabins will be fixed to foundation piles onsite, connected to services, and then prepared for final compliance checks and commissioning. 

Despite delays, all parties remain committed to the August delivery milestone, with final commissioning and handover to the campground set for early September 2025.  

Reefton-based builders and subcontractors have confirmed they will increase the resources they have available onsite to maintain the programme’s momentum and prepare for handover and occupation as soon as practicable. 

A formal handover with key project stakeholders will be scheduled for early September 2025. 

With over 50 local workers and numerous West Coast-based businesses involved in both the factory-based building and onsite installation stages, this project continues to support regional employment and provide modern, warm accommodation for Reefton’s workforce and visitors. 

Council thanks all project partners and contractors for their ongoing commitment to delivering this important investment in the Reefton community.
