North Queensland Stadium

Overview

The new home of the Cowboys $250 million, 25,000 seat North Queensland Stadium will long be remembered as a landmark project for Townsville. The Mendi Group proudly delivered the civil earthworks and roadworks packages. Additional works have included external roads and services, the Eastern and Stage 3&4 Promenades, the Northern Ramp Infill works. The award of the Field of Play contract will ensure that Mendi were the first contractors on the ground when the project started and we will be there until the very end. Due to the sensitive location of this project to the Ross River, environmental controls and Cultural Heritage Management were key components in the project delivery.
