Mick Newport Contracting was founded back in 1989 when a young plumber and drain layer named Mick Newport heeded some helpful advice and decided to start his own business. Beginning with a single backhoe, Mick spent several years as an owner/operator working out of Gordonvale, just south of Cairns, quietly building a reputation for working hard and delivering outstanding results.

As his renown grew so did the business, leading to a steady expansion in the equipment fleet and service offerings of Mick Newport Contracting. Today, we have a team of dedicated employees bound by the core qualities of honesty, integrity and hard work that helped Mick build the business all those years ago.

Over the decades, we have been fortunate enough to work with a diverse range of clients from throughout Queensland and across Australia, including farmers, property developers, mining companies,and local and state governments. During this time, we have developed a reputation for technical proficiency, unmatched professionalism, and a can-do attitude that believes there is no job too big, too small or too difficult, so long as we give it our all.
