Where we work
Burke Industries works from 60–62 Condamine Street, Harristown, in Toowoomba. Most of our demolition, asbestos removal, contaminated soil, earthworks and fire hydrant work is within an hour of the yard, across the Toowoomba Regional Council and Lockyer Valley Regional Council areas.
We've grouped our local pages into five areas. Each one covers the localities around it, the local council rules that affect a job, and the kind of work we do there. If your site isn't listed, we probably still work there. Public contract records show Burke delivering government work as far afield as Roma, Blackall, Thargomindah and Yeppoon.
