🚨 CONTRACT AWARD: Handel Group appointed by Townsville City Council 🚨
Some milestones are more than business achievements. They’re a reflection of the journey that brought us here.
Seven years ago, Handel Group was in its infancy when our team travelled north to support the Townsville flood recovery. Even then, we believed there was a better way to deliver waste and recovery services. One built on rapid deployment, local delivery networks, scalable solutions, and technology that puts communities first.
That experience helped shape who we are today.
We are incredibly proud to announce that Handel Group has been awarded a long-term partnership with Townsville City Council to deliver hard waste services, digital waste facility e-vouchers, and disaster preparedness and response capabilities.
Our time working alongside SES volunteers, Disaster Relief Australia (formerly Rubicon), Council teams and the local community during the 2019 recovery reinforced what we have always believed: communities deserve solutions that are flexible, locally delivered, environmentally responsible, and ready to scale when they are needed most.
Those values remain at the heart of everything we do.
Through this partnership, we look forward to:
♻️ Diverting more material from landfill and maximising resource recovery.
🌏 Reducing carbon emissions through smarter logistics and locally delivered services.
👷 Supporting local jobs, local businesses and regional supply chains.
📊 Providing councils with greater visibility through real-time technology, data and reporting.
🔄 Delivering an adaptable platform that evolves alongside councils and the changing needs of their communities.
This partnership is about far more than waste collection.
It’s about creating better environmental outcomes, strengthening local economies, improving disaster readiness, and delivering modern services that make life easier for residents while supporting councils into the future.
We extend our sincere thanks to Townsville City Council, its officers, stakeholders and project teams for the trust they have placed in Handel Group. We are honoured by the opportunity and look forward to building a long-lasting partnership that delivers real outcomes for the Townsville community.
Seven years ago, we came to Townsville to help.
Today, we’re proud to return as your trusted partner.
The next chapter starts now.
