Twenty-six soldiers from Linton Military Camp have begun their three-month stint at Mistletoe Bay Eco Village to finish building the campground their predecessors started in 2006.
An advance group of nine soldiers arrived last week to start laying the foundations for the camp kitchen and conference room, while the rest arrived on Monday.
The group is made up of qualified builders, plumbers, and electricians, as well as chefs, and men from the signals unit.
They will build a new conference centre and camp kitchen area including a science laboratory, shop, laundry and storage space extend the ablutions block and add a disabled toilet to the existing kitchen.
Corporal Ricky Kernohan said they had been planning the project for five months, and enlisted the manpower from units based at Linton, south of Palmerston North.
