The Holiday Inn Resort, Vanuatu was significantly damaged when Cyclone Pam (a category 5 depression) made landfall at Port Vila in March, 2015. Winds of up to 314kph were experienced along with torrential rainfall. During the cyclone, the resort’s Ball Room served as a Refuge Centre for guests and some of Port Vila’s residents alike, as it is located on a lower level and constructed of reinforced concrete and had survived both previous cyclone and earthquake events.
Initial inspections and assessments were carried out by Structural and Services Engineers to determine the extent of the damage. Tendering Documentation was prepared and tenders were issued. Due to the nature of the tender documentation and the need to commence work as quickly as possible, the Insurance Company agreed to a ‘Cost-Plus ‘ form of construction contract. This form of contract was being used successfully elsewhere in Vanuatu on other smaller resort developments that had also been damaged by the cyclone.
The Head Contractor, Vancorp Construction, is proceeding well with the work and it is expected to be complete by May 2016.
Creative Resolution Australia was awarded the project management role due to our previous working relationship with IHG Hotels and our previous experience with the Hotel Owners during the project management of the refurbishment of the Holiday Inn Resort in Vanuatu which was completed in 2011.
For many years, successive Governors and Port Moresby NCDC (or Port Moresby City Council) City Managers had aspired to building a City Hall that would bring together all the NCDC staff under one roof.
In 2010 the design was completed and tender documentation was prepared. The project was put to tender by the NCDC and China Railway Construction Engineering PNG (CRCE) was awarded the construction contract. Work commenced on site in August of 2013 with occupation of the building taking place in September, 2015,
Creative Resolution Australia was awarded the project management role due to our experience in PNG and our previous experience working with CRCE on another office building development on the Old Parliament House site, also in Port Moresby.
