Project Milestone | Providence West - Lacebark

Another major milestone for Shadforth, with the completion of 277 residential lots at Lacebark for Stockland, marking the first stage of Providence West and paving the way for more than 2,000 future homes.

Spanning 57 hectares, the project involved approximately 643,000m³ of bulk earthworks, more than 30,000m² of road pavements and significant road infrastructure upgrades, including a new four-lane connector road and the Ripley Road / Providence Parade intersection.

At peak construction, our team reached 145 people and more than 80 pieces of plant on site, with an impressive 9,500m³ of material moved in a single day!
With both Lacebark and the intersection works completed ahead of schedule, this milestone reflects the expertise, teamwork and commitment of our people and the strong collaboration with Stockland, our subcontractors and project partners.

A fantastic effort by everyone involved!

25 Years on the Tools - Time to Reel It In!

After 25 years with Shadforth, our Foreman Tony is hanging up his hard hat and heading into a well-earned retirement!

Known for his exceptional high standards, straight-talking approach and willingness to show the next generation how it's done, Tony has certainly left his mark on the team.

Tony, thank you for your dedication and everything you've contributed over the past 25 years. We'll miss your stories, your wealth of knowledge and, of course, never having to guess what you're thinking!

Enjoy swapping the shovel for a fishing rod. All the best, mate. You've earned it!

Ridgeview – Eight Years, 13 Stages and a Brilliant Team Effort!

We've officially wrapped up civil construction at Ridgeview in Narangba, completing a $59 million project for Satterley Property Group and helping bring a 690-lot residential community to life.

From challenging ground conditions and deep sewer installations to creek crossings and environmental considerations, there's been plenty for our team to navigate over the past eight years.

Getting a project of this scale across the finish line takes a lot of people working together, and it's a great achievement for everyone involved. A big thank you to Satterley Property Group for their continued trust, our subcontractors and suppliers, and everyone at Shadforth who has contributed along the way.

More Than Just a BBQ

Recently, our team came together for a BBQ in support of Grab Life By The Balls and the important work they do to strengthen men’s mental health through mateship and social connection. We were joined by founder Sam Parker, who spoke about the importance of having good mates around you, staying connected and taking the time to check in with one another.

With one in four men having no close mates, it was an important reminder of just how much genuine connection matters. The BBQ gave our team a chance to step away from the day-to-day, share a feed, have a laugh and catch up with the people we work alongside.

A big thank you to Sam and Anna for joining us and sharing such an important message, and to everyone who came along, especially those who took a turn behind the BBQ!

We’re proud to continue working alongside Stockland, not only in delivering the infrastructure that supports this growing community, but also through events like Monster Machine Day that bring the community together.

A big thank you to Stockland, everyone involved and all the families who joined us in making another Monster Machine Day such a success!

Supporting Rotary Club of SEQ Wildlife Rescue

Working in development, we understand that as our communities grow, the work we do can have an impact on the wildlife that calls these areas home. That’s why supporting the people who dedicate their time to caring for and rehabilitating local wildlife is important to us.

We recently donated materials to the Rotary Club Of SEQ Wildlife Rescue to help build a kangaroo rehabilitation enclosure, giving rescued kangaroos a safe space to recover, grow stronger and prepare for their return to the wild.

Behind this work are dedicated volunteers who give their time to rescuing, caring for and rehabilitating these animals. We’re proud to have played a small part in supporting the important work they do for our local wildlife.

From Factory to Field…Understanding the Process

Our Brisbane and Gold Coast Engineers recently visited Civilmart for a behind-the-scenes look at how precast stormwater pits are manufactured.

This was a great opportunity for our Engineers to build on their technical knowledge; learn directly from our suppliers and better understand the products our teams work with every day.

A massive thank you to the Civilmart teams for sharing their time and knowledge with us.

68 Stages. 144 Hectares. 10+ Years. One Incredible Project!

Now, with Peninsula Park completed and handed over to City of Moreton Bay, the final piece of infrastructure has been delivered, bringing more than 10 years of construction at Newport to a close.

Since November 2015, our team has helped transform 144 hectares into a waterside community supporting more than 2,000 homes.

Along the way, we delivered some incredible numbers, including a 22-hectare lake, approximately 3.95 million m³ of material moved, 3.3 km of revetment wall and more than $250 million in civil infrastructure across all 68 stages.

At its peak, Newport brought together up to 210 people and 105 machines. But one of the project’s greatest legacies is the careers built along the way.

Graduate Engineers who started their careers at Newport have progressed into senior roles within Shadforth and are now mentoring the next generation coming through our business. It’s a great example of the long-term career opportunities that come from building your career across major projects with Team Shadforth.

After more than 10 years, Newport leaves an incredible legacy, not only in the community we helped build, but in the people and careers that grew alongside it.

Congratulations to our team and the many subcontractors, suppliers and stakeholders who have worked alongside us to deliver this incredible project.

R U OK? Any Day

Our greatest strength isn't our fleet. It's our people.

Positive Energy. Respect. Ownership. Winning Team.

For us, looking out for each other is part of being a team. It means noticing when someone might not be themselves, taking the time to check in, and being there to listen.

R U OK? Day is a good reminder to have those conversations. Ask the question. Make time to listen. Keep checking in.

Because looking out for each other is something we can all take ownership of.
