Hutchinson Builders commences work this month on a major development project at The Ville Resort–Casino at Townsville. Hutchinson Builders’ Townsville office will manage the project, which will include three new restaurants, a poolside function space to fit up to 700 people, an infinity-edge pool with private cabanas and an elevated deck connecting the pool to the lobby level above. The pool and rear lawns area will close mid-July, with demolition works to start immediately after. “Part of our criteria in selecting a builder was that the company needed to be able to manage a project of this scope, have an office in Townsville and use local subcontractors where possible,” The Ville Resort – Casino chief executive officer Brad Morgan said. “The Ville is supported by its community – the people who dine at the restaurants, stay at the hotel, hold and attend functions at the venue – and keeping as many dollars from this development circulating within Townsville is important.” Hutchinson Builders are a family-owned and operated business with an office in Townsville for almost 30 years and employ more than 35 full-time office and site staff locally. Also scheduled this year as part of The Ville’s $35 million makeover is redevelopment of the lobby bar as a casual dining outlet, with access from the hotel lobby and casino.
