Where is Goonoo?
Goonoo Feedlot is located 65km from Emerald, an area of Central Queensland that Gore Earthmoving services regularly for new and returning clients.
Owned by Australian Agricultural Company Limited, this project flowed seamlessly for the duration of the works.

Let’s get down to business
This project exemplified the ideal conditions rarely encountered in earthmoving: minimal weather-related delays, high-quality material, and a project team that remained engaged and maintained clear communication with on-site personnel.
Our team completed the following:
- Construction of 2 new pen lanes, road and feed bunkers within existing feedlot;
- Cut/fill area to shape pens, moving 10,000 cubic metres of subgrade;
- Clay cap total pen areas with a 200mm cap to protect subgrade, moving 9,500 cubic metres of clay;
- All surfaces had to be watered, compacted, trimmed and rolled;
- Cut/fill new sediment dam so it was complete once clay capping was removed. Total area had to be shaped, watered, compacted, trimmed and rolled;
- All areas within sediment dam had to have ground surface treatment ensuring they were impermeable;
- Using local gravel, we constructed feed lanes and roads so concrete bunkers and aprons could be poured;
- Construction of new hay pad, new shed pad and surrounds as well as a new induction shed pad
Something to be proud of
The team at Gore Earthmoving once again demonstrated why we are recognised leaders in feedlot development. Backed by a highly skilled, experienced workforce, we bring proven expertise to every project – and the results speak for themselves.
