Proterra Group commenced works with Paroo Shire Council in June 2019 to inspect an estimated $500k in infrastructure damage.
Following completion of inspections, the approved submission value was just over $3M and Proterra Group have had a relationship with Paroo Shire Council ever since.
We currently have three staff based onsite in Cunnamulla managing the completion of Council's 2020 & 2021events ($49.5M) and have recently completed submissions for the 2022 event which is in the order of $18M.
Our onsite personnel include a Project Manager, a Contract Administrator, two Site Inspectors and a Site Inspector.
Each of the above-mentioned events required initial inspection by Proterra Group, preparation of submissions and lodgement in MARS, then full delivery of works involving a combination of Council and local contract resources to ensure that not only was the infrastructure returned to pre-event condition, but there was maximum value to the local community during the project delivery.

• Providing financial support and in-kind donations to community organisations, promoting the region through our social media, and attending events and
