About Us

With over 40 years of experience, Pat McDonnell Earthmoving proudly stands as the longest-standing earthmoving and civil company in the Whitsunday area. Over the years, we have continuously expanded and updated our operations to meet the ever-growing demand and stay at the forefront of transport and construction equipment.

Headquartered in Bowen, the jewel of the Whitsundays, our depot is strategically located to serve the region efficiently. We operate a decomposed granite pit for bulk fill and deco roadways, holding around 75% of the sand allocation from the Don River and surrounding waterways. Our strong partnership with Burdekin and Bowen Quarries (BQC) allows us to offer all quarry materials at highly competitive rates.
