Over 600 pieces of civil construction, infrastructure and industrial surplus equipment from the Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 3 project are up for grabs at Lloyds Auctions, with bidding starting from $1
The online auction includes surplus assets used on the 6.7-kilometre extension from Broadbeach South to Burleigh Heads. The equipment covers a wide range of project materials, equipment and site assets left over after major civil works.
“This auction is the release of a large volume of end-of-project surplus from one of the Gold Coast’s biggest recent infrastructure jobs,” said Lee Hames, Chief Operations Officer at Lloyds Auctions. “For civil contractors and related trades, these sales can be a practical way to pick up usable plant and equipment that has already done major project work.”
Gold Coast Light Rail has been built in stages over more than a decade. Stage 1 opened in 2014, Stage 2 in 2017, and Stage 3 began carrying passengers earlier this month. The new section improves links across one of Australia’s fastest-growing urban areas.
“Once major infrastructure work finishes, there is usually a solid amount of leftover materials, equipment and site gear that still has real value,” Mr Hames said. “Auctions help get those assets back into the hands of contractors, councils and businesses that can use them straight away.”
