37256 Civil Drainage Business with Local Government Supplier Status

About the Business

Step into a ready-to-work civil drainage and plant hire business in Perth, with the equipment, local government credentials and project history already in place to start winning work from day one.

This opportunity gives a new owner an established platform in minor civil drainage, servicing local government and other clients. Preferred supplier status with Western Australia’s local government procurement network and existing council relationships open the door to further work. Demand comes from councils, contractors and other organisations, so there are several avenues to build a steady pipeline of projects.

Jobs are typically short, often completed within a few hours, which allows flexible scheduling and creates the potential to complete multiple jobs in a single day. The work is varied and predominantly outdoors, with a mix of locations and tasks rather than long, repetitive projects. A lean cost base keeps overheads under control, making this a practical fit for an owner-operator or a small business looking to expand its capabilities.

The sale includes a well-kept equipment package suited to small drainage projects, with very low hours and kilometres given the nature of the work:
- Isuzu FSR tipper truck: 1995 model with extremely low kilometres
- Hitachi U40 excavator: 4 tonne, 2012 model with extremely low hours
- 4-tonne plant trailer
- Drainage laser
- Compactors
- Associated tools and equipment

Completed project examples and financial records are available for review, giving buyers a clear picture of the operation before they commit. The owner is relocating overseas and can discuss a practical handover, including job and equipment details.

Growth is well within reach. A new owner can actively quote for further local government and civil works across Perth and extend into regional Western Australia. With a limited online presence today, there is also clear room to build a digital profile that showcases the equipment, completed projects and supplier status to generate additional enquiries.
