The contract covers approximately 5,000 kilometers of road network from Kyneton to Mildura, responsible for routine and planned maintenance of pavements, roadside infrastructure, drainage systems, structures, and other critical transport assets.
The contract launch also represents a significant investment in regional communities. Fulton Hogan has added over 70 new team members and commenced operations at seven new locations across the region. New warehouses and offices have been established in Bendigo, Kyneton, Echuca, Swan Hill, Donald, Red Cliffs, and Ouyen. This expansion integrates local knowledge and experience into the company's operations while enhancing its ability to deliver responsive and reliable road maintenance services.
Fulton Hogan has placed personnel mobilization at the core of its approach. During the transition period, the company has focused on supporting employees, building strong local teams, and ensuring teams have the resources, systems, and leadership needed for success. The company states that this approach aims to create a safe, inclusive, and efficient workplace environment that values local knowledge, allowing communities to benefit from familiar faces maintaining the roads they rely on daily.
The Loddon Mallee contract builds on Fulton Hogan's experience executing Victorian Road Maintenance Contracts in the Barwon South West and Gippsland regions. The company combines proven maintenance expertise with modern asset management tools and consistent systems to deliver efficient, data-driven, and customer-focused outcomes for the Department of Transport and Planning and the communities that depend on the network.
With the project underway, Fulton Hogan looks forward to working closely with local communities, clients, suppliers, and stakeholders to keep people moving, improve network performance, and deliver safer, more reliable roads across the Loddon Mallee region.
