Local crews in every Queensland region

Our people live and work in the regions they cover, so most jobs are staffed locally rather than flown in. We have crews located in Brisbane, Toowoomba, Hervey Bay, Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville, Cairns and Mount Isa, plus team members across the Central West and South West. Sites within 100 km of one of our depots have no mobilisation charge, and where flights are required we confirm those costs with you before you accept the quote.

Longer programs are cheaper. Duration discounts step down the rate as the total length of your project grows, across both labour and equipment.

Queensland compliance, handled

Every Fauna Spotter Catcher we supply in Queensland holds the required permit for spotter catcher work, with current insurances, inductions and first aid. Where your clearing envelope intersects mapped koala habitat we supply dedicated Koala Spotters alongside the Fauna Spotter Catcher, in line with your approval conditions. Copies of licences and insurances come with every quote, and clearance records are delivered in a format that suits your approval conditions.

What we do on Queensland projects

We work alongside project owners, principal contractors and environmental consultants on:

  • Vegetation clearing for roads, rail, subdivisions and pipelines

  • Coal, metals and gas projects across the Bowen and Surat Basins and the North West Minerals Province
  • Council water, sewer, flood resilience and park works
  • Dam, quarry and dewatering works
  • Pre-clearance fauna surveys, breeding-place inspections and Fauna Management Plans

Frequently asked questions

Do you supply Fauna Spotter Catchers anywhere in Queensland?

Yes. We cover the whole state, from the Gold Coast to Cape York and out to the Northern Territory border. Most jobs are staffed by crews who live in the region, with extra people flown in for larger or remote programs.

Do I need a Koala Spotter or a Fauna Spotter Catcher?

You need a dedicated Koala Spotter on top of your Fauna Spotter Catcher whenever the clearing envelope intersects mapped koala habitat in Queensland. Your approval conditions will usually spell this out. Tell us your site and conditions and we will match the right people to the job.
