    What is required to get council, roadside, sport fields and parks jobs?

    Hey what are the requirements to get this type of work?

    Do the machines need to be rear discharge only if working on the roadside? etc?

    Do the council hire outsiders for work? As isn;t it better for them just to pay their blokes $16 an hour as opposed to someone else for more per hour etc?

    These are the large machine jobs I'm talking about, around 72" (6ft cut).

    It depends on the individual council some do some don`t..They usualy do it by tender and advertise it in the local paper..

    Or even better give your local council a call to find out all the details

    Yes that makes the most logical sense.

    Hi Mr Apples,
    we applied to our Council (Bundaberg Regional Council) for what was required to do council work. note we have a 5ft slasher and 5ft Diesel O Steer & 4ft Commercial Toro.

    They require 10 Million Insurance but then we receiver more work than we can ever handle so never got back to them.

    Regards Bob B&J mowing Bundaberg. See busines for sale
