Maryborough State High School in the Fraser Coast Region underwent a $3 million school block renovation in 2019 – the first stage of a $12 million Master Plan renewal led by Australian construction firm, Integral Construction.


After a few false starts to the project – encountering roadblocks with three different contractors not arriving on site, not meeting the project expectations, or failing to collaborate with other teams on the project – Integral Construction contracted Wombat Hire to step in and join the project.


As a one-stop solution for civil contracting services on the Fraser Coast that includes earthmoving and plant hire, Wombat Hire met the project requirements with a can-do attitude and problem-solving mindset. A feat that sparked a productive ongoing relationship with Integral Construction, which has since seen them position Wombat Hire as their preferred supplier for quality civil contracting services.


Part of the Queensland Government’s Renewing Our Schools program – the project at Maryborough State School delivered a new kitchen, decking area, café space, conference facilities, lecture facilities, and virtual reality and green room spaces to the school’s J Block.


The productive collaboration continued in Term 1, with new STEM Coding and Robotics facilities built, including the completion of conference and staff rooms. The new internal fit out was quickly followed by a high-quality external rebuild of two school buildings which, in turn, saw the creation of a new centre for educational innovation on the Fraser Coast.


A two storey Student Enrichment Precinct featuring new classrooms, artificial sports turf fields with lighting and seating, sheds and large scale storage, a bore for the school oval, and new seating are now all well on their way as Wombat Hire and Integral Construction finish setting the stage for Maryborough State High to be recognised as a world class, state of the art school.


The collaboration was an undeniable success, with a strong partnership established for future work between Wombat Hire and Integral Construction. Since their Maryborough State School collaboration, Wombat Hire and Integral Construction have joined forces to show how it is done across a slew of successful projects around Queensland.


Wombat Hire benefited from having joined Integral Construction on a series of great ongoing and future projects, and Integral Construction finally gained a rockstar excavation contractor to call on for every excavation project.


Integral Construction said of their partnership: ‘Wombat Hire have been used on multiple projects now and have given quality and reliable service, and are more than willing to work in accordance with project times and targets, highly recommended.’
