Proterra Group was established in Goondiwindi in 2008 and has been heavily involved in the delivery of Flood Restorations works with Goondiwindi Council ever since.
This has not only involved Project Management but also full construction restoration works on roads, levee banks and stormwater infrastructure such as culverts and pump stations.
Our Team in Goondiwindi consists of a Project Manager, Peter Collins, for the current 2021 event supported by our Engineering Manager Mick Shellshear along with four Site Inspectors and a Technical Officer.
This team manages works on the ground and is supported by our office-based staff in Toowoomba for submission building and liaison with the QRA Team out of Brisbane.
The 2021 Event is in the order of $40M and Proterra Group will be looking after overall Program Management as well as managing Construction teams delivering emergent works on local roads, along with Betterment works on Levee Bank and Culvert Infrastructure along the McIntyre River.
