Partnering with a Local Road Maintenance Contractor: How Gebro Contracting Delivers Reliable Solutions

Choosing a local road maintenance contractor who truly understands the lay of the land makes all the difference. At Gebro Contracting, we’re an Indigenous-owned, locally based company in Port Hedland that's proud to provide top-quality services backed by a deep understanding of our region’s unique conditions and challenges.

Founded in 2016 by George Brown, a proud Nyamal and Ngarla man with nearly a decade of experience at Main Roads WA, Gebro Contracting has grown into a trusted partner across both the public and private sectors. We specialise in comprehensive road maintenance solutions, encompassing vegetation management, drill pad construction, labour hire, equipment hire, and road safety infrastructure.

Here’s a deep dive into how partnering with Gebro brings real, long-term value to your projects—and your community.


The Power of Community-Driven Contracting

Grounded in the Pilbara

Our roots in the Pilbara are more than geographic—they shape our approach, our values, and our commitment. Being local means we understand the:

  • Environmental conditions – extreme heat, red dust, and flooding risk.
  • Remote logistics – planning and execution with limited access and timelines.
  • Cultural landscape – ensuring work is done respectfully and in collaboration with Traditional Owners.

This makes Gebro uniquely positioned to deliver reliable, efficient, and culturally conscious services across WA.

A Commitment to Indigenous Employment and Development

As an Indigenous-owned company, our mission goes beyond business—we aim to empower local people. We actively create employment, mentoring, and training opportunities for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous workers, and every project we win helps us build a stronger, more inclusive local workforce.

Gebro Contracting On the Ground: Supporting Cyclone Recovery in the Pilbara

In the wake of Tropical Cyclone Zelia, much of the Pilbara has been left grappling with the aftermath of destructive winds, floodwaters, and infrastructure damage—especially across De Grey, Yarrie, Marble Bar, and surrounding pastoral and remote communities.

As part of our ongoing commitment to the region, Gebro Contracting mobilised crews to assist Main Roads Western Australia with urgent recovery efforts. Our team worked across affected transport corridors to help restore safe access, clear debris, and support essential repairs to critical infrastructure.

We understand the vital importance of these connections—not just for freight and logistics, but for the everyday lives of residents, pastoral workers, and Indigenous communities that rely on safe and reliable road access.

This initiative reflects our core values: community-driven action, Indigenous leadership, and regional resilience. When disaster strikes, we don’t just stand by—we step up. Our team takes immense pride in contributing our skills, equipment, and local knowledge to aid in rebuilding efforts.
