The road to Far North Queensland’s future 🛣️

At John Holland, we have a proud track record of transforming communities, and the Edmonton to Gordonvale (E2G) project was no exception.

Delivered in 2023 by John Holland, Seymour Whyte and AECOM, this $481-million infrastructure project included:

🛣️ a 10.5-kilometre upgrade of the Bruce Highway, south of Cairns
🛣️ duplicating the existing two-lane sections to four lanes
🛣️ new service roads
🛤️ relocating of 4.4-kilometres of Queensland Rail line
🚆 building two new active level crossings
🛤️ relocating and constructing 8.8-kilometres of cane rail.

We transformed one of Queensland’s busiest and most critical transport routes, delivering safer roads, reducing congestion, improving flood resilience and strengthening connections for communities across the region.

None of this would have been possible without the collaboration with local subcontractors and the incredible support of farmers, residents and businesses who embraced the long-term benefits for Far North Queensland.

**EOI OPERATORS/TRUCKIES**

We are looking for someone to give us a hand this year. Can be ongoing for the right person. Thought we would start here as we would like someone we know or through mutual friends.

If you know us then you know what we are about. Our customers expect more than the average earthmover. Looking for someone of good character and clean living habits. Casual position to start with. Can be part time.

Working on our own jobs most of the time some experience in the following would be handy to us:

• HC/HR driver (truck and dog exp would be ideal but I’m being realistic)
• Roller ticket
• Water truck experience
• Any other machine experience would be a bonus

One project in trinity park that should run for most of the dry season depending on weather and the rest varies all over Cairns and Tablelands.

Landslip remediation works….should be a positive post about Xmas and New Years with a wrap up of 2023.

Just recently our home town Cairns and the FNQ region was hit with some of the worst flooding ever experienced in this area.

Our thoughts are with those that are unable to spend Christmas in their homes. We will be there to support the community now and after the initial clean up phase. Stay safe FNQ!

Thanks for the up keep on our gear

Thanks , and Gary Dixon for your efforts this year 🍻
