Situated approximately 115 km north of the Newman townsite, the Roy Hill project is established on flat plains at the eastern end of the Chichester Range.

Wormall Civil in conjunction with its client, Brookfield Multiplex, completed the $200 million Roy Hill mine accommodation village in the Pilbara in 2014, allowing 2,000 workers to be accommodated on site to manage the mine construction and operations.

Under contract to principal contractor Brookfield Multiplex, Wormall Civil employed a workforce in excess of 150 persons for approximately 12 months at the site.
