Wanting to play a key role in the expansion of water networks throughout North Queensland, a national pipeline company has moved into Townsville and begun searching for business partners.

Founded in Melbourne in 2013, Clover Pipelines is a third-generation Australian-owned specialist provider of pipeline systems for various market sectors including water, wastewater, civil, mining and agriculture.

Clover general manager Brad Grudgfield said they offered a variety of pipe systems including polyethylene, PVC, steel, ductile iron, glass reinforced plastic pipes, valves, fittings and accessories.

“We realise water networks and infrastructure are the backbone of our communities, so Clover is under a national expansion plan to play our part in current and future community developments,” Mr Grudgfield said.

“This is our first venture into Northern Queensland with the Townsville establishment at 487 Woolcock Street.

“Townsville attracted us due to its strategic location, which offers robust connectivity to Northern Queensland, aiding in logistics and distribution.”

Mr Grudgfield was optimistic about Townsville’s economic future due to its ongoing infrastructure developments, population growth, and a supportive local government.

“Looking ahead, we plan to expand the range of products and services offered to the local market, expanding our footprint, and creating local employment opportunities,” he said.

Anticipating that they would have six staff by mid-2024, Clover North Queensland sales manager Clinton Turner was excited about collaborating with local organisations and councils.

The site at 487 Woolcock Street appealed to Clover due to its size, accessibility, and modern facilities.

Helping Clover to secure the warehouse listed by Colliers’ Todd Walsh, Colliers commercial executive Aaron Power said there was strong demand for this property type, with multiple parties expressing interest.

“Clover has taken up a multi-year lease term which is again a show of confidence in our region,” Mr Power said.

“They are positioning themselves here to take advantage of the economic uplift in the region and the large amount of infrastructure projects coming online.”
