Mine camp mobilisation and relocation in WA
Mine camp mobilisation, relocation and demobilisation across remote Western Australia, from the setup of a greenfield accommodation village to the orderly closeout of a camp at the end of its life. For a camp relocation we run the facilities management side as one controlled project, demobilisation at the site you are leaving and mobilisation at the next, coordinating the modular supplier who transports and installs the buildings.

Camp mobilisation, ready before the first residents arrive
Mobilisation and demobilisation carry more risk than steady operation. We run them as controlled project delivery under our ISO 9001 quality management system, against a defined schedule with milestones, hold points and commissioning checklists signed off before the first residents arrive.
From Perth we coordinate freight, charter flights, equipment hire and subcontractor engagement for remote sites such as Onslow, Newman, Leinster, Laverton and Meekatharra, and across the Pilbara, Goldfields and Mid West.
Mobilisation covers
- Site setup planning and logistics coordination
- Equipment and infrastructure procurement
- Coordinating installation and commissioning of accommodation units, kitchens, dining facilities, laundries, ablution blocks, recreation areas, offices and utility systems with specialist suppliers
- Workforce ramp up: recruitment, pre employment medicals, inductions, training and roster establishment
- Mobilisation risk registers, procurement schedules, resource loading plans and stakeholder communication
Mine camp relocations as one project
When a project moves to a new site, the camp services have to move with it. We plan the facilities management side of a mine camp relocation as two linked phases under one schedule, with the modular supplier transporting and installing the buildings, so the wind down at one site and the setup at the next are sequenced together.
Plan the move
One schedule, risk register and procurement plan covering both sites, with costs set apart from operating expenditure.
Demobilise the old site
Workforce transition planning, equipment decommissioning, asset recovery, deep cleaning and waste removal.
Mobilise the new site
Setup, restaffing and commissioning against milestones and hold points, with the supplier installing the buildings.
Close out and hand over
Asset condition reports and closeout documentation for the site left behind, and the new camp handed over operational.
Demobilisation and closeout
Demobilisation needs the same rigour as setup. We manage the structured wind down of camp operations and prepare demobilisation cost estimates, asset condition reports and closeout documentation to meet your contractual obligations, mining tenement conditions and the environmental closure requirements of the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety and the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation.
Demobilisation covers
- Workforce transition and redeployment planning
- Asset recovery and disposal
- Equipment decommissioning
- Deep cleaning, waste removal and disposal
- Environmental remediation support
Phase pricing procurement teams can budget
For procurement teams and commercial managers structuring mining contracts, we price mobilisation, relocation and demobilisation separately from steady state operating expenditure. Each phase can then be budgeted and attributed on its own, and the contract hands over cleanly at the end of the camp's life.
Once the camp is running, our mining camp management services cover catering, housekeeping, cleaning, maintenance and village management under one contract.

Mine camp mobilisation and relocation: common questions
Do you manage mine camp relocations in WA?
Yes. We plan a relocation as demobilisation at the old site and mobilisation at the new one, run as one project: demobilisation at the site you are leaving, covering workforce transition, decommissioning, asset recovery, cleaning and waste removal, and mobilisation at the new site, covering setup, restaffing and commissioning against milestones and hold points, with the modular supplier transporting and installing the buildings.
What does camp mobilisation include?
Site setup planning and logistics coordination, equipment and infrastructure procurement, coordinating installation and commissioning of accommodation units, kitchens, dining facilities, laundries, ablutions, recreation areas, offices and utilities with specialist suppliers, and workforce ramp up from recruitment and medicals to inductions, training and rosters.
What happens at camp demobilisation?
A structured wind down: workforce transition and redeployment planning, asset recovery and disposal, equipment decommissioning, deep cleaning, waste removal and environmental remediation support, with cost estimates, asset condition reports and closeout documentation.
How are mobilisation and relocation priced?
Separately from steady state operating expenditure, so each project phase can be budgeted and attributed on its own and the contract hands over cleanly at the end of the camp's life.
Which regions do you cover?
Remote Western Australia, including sites such as Onslow, Newman, Leinster, Laverton and Meekatharra and across the Pilbara, Goldfields and Mid West, coordinated from Perth.
