Crews located in Cairns
We have crews located in Cairns, backed by our wider team when a job needs extra people or specialist skills. Sites within 100 km of one of our depots have no mobilisation charge. Where flights are required, we confirm those costs with you before you accept the quote, so there are no surprises.
Longer programs are cheaper. Our duration discounts step down the rate as the total length of your project grows, across both labour and equipment, so a month-long clearing campaign costs less per day than a one-off shift.
Industries we support in the Far North
We work alongside project owners, contractors and consultants on:
- Bruce Highway, Kennedy Highway and Peninsula Developmental Road works
- Council subdivisions, water, sewer and flood resilience projects
- Wind, solar and transmission projects on the Atherton Tablelands
- Bauxite mining, port and haul road works around Weipa
- Quarries, dams, irrigation and rural infrastructure
- Tourism, resort and coastal infrastructure builds
Local fauna know-how
Far North fauna needs local knowledge. Our crews work in rainforest, mangrove, wet sclerophyll and savanna country and know how to search for and manage threatened species such as the southern cassowary and the spectacled flying-fox, as well as tree-kangaroos, possums, pythons, venomous snakes and frogs. Clearing is staged around nesting, roosting and movement, and every animal found is recorded in a format that suits your approval conditions.
Towns we service
Cairns, Port Douglas, Mareeba, Atherton, Innisfail, Tully, Cooktown, Weipa and the Cape York communities in between.
