Crews located in Townsville

We have crews located in Townsville, 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.

Local fauna know-how

North Queensland covers dry tropics woodland, coastal wetlands and inland savanna. Our crews search for koalas, gliders, including the mahogany glider around Ingham, the black-throated finch in the Townsville region, and the pythons, venomous snakes and goannas that turn up on almost every clearing face. Every animal found is recorded in a format that suits your approval conditions.

Towns we service

Townsville, Ayr, Home Hill, Ingham, Charters Towers, Hughenden and the mines, stations and corridors in between.
