GEELONG, VIC - Mar 20, 2026 (UTC) - Scoop Hire, a Melbourne-based provider of construction equipment hire and support services, has announced its expansion into the Greater Geelong region as part of a broader strategy to strengthen its presence across Victoria’s rapidly growing construction sector.
The move follows increasing demand for reliable construction equipment across regional Victoria and reflects the company’s commitment to supporting the infrastructure and residential developments currently transforming the Geelong area. By establishing a new operational hub in the region, Scoop Hire aims to improve accessibility to modern machinery and specialised construction support for contractors, builders and project managers working across the region.
With a strong reputation already established through its existing operations in Sunshine North and Woodend, the company is now extending its services into Geelong to better serve one of Australia’s fastest-growing regional economies. The new facility represents an important step in Scoop Hire’s ongoing expansion strategy and reinforces its long-term investment in Victoria’s construction supply chain.
Responding to Geelong’s Rapid Growth
Over the past decade, Geelong has evolved into a major economic centre within Victoria, driven by population growth, major infrastructure investment and increasing residential development. As the region continues to expand, the demand for high-quality construction equipment and dependable hire services has grown significantly.
Large-scale developments such as the Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre and the Geelong Fast Rail project are helping to reshape the region’s economic landscape while generating substantial activity within the construction industry. These projects, alongside ongoing residential development across Greater Geelong, are creating sustained demand for heavy machinery and construction support services.
Scoop Hire’s expansion into Geelong is designed to help address these needs by providing contractors with improved access to well-maintained equipment supported by responsive service and operational expertise.
Tom Carland, who manages operations for Scoop Hire Geelong, said the decision to establish a presence in Geelong reflects the company’s confidence in the region’s long-term growth.
“Geelong is rapidly establishing itself as a key economic hub for Victoria, and the level of development currently underway demonstrates the scale of opportunity in the region,” Mr Carland said.
“Our expansion allows us to bring more than 15 years of industry experience directly to local contractors and project teams. We understand how important dependable machinery, responsive support and transparent pricing are for keeping projects running efficiently.”
Expanded Fleet and Service Capability
Through its new Geelong operations hub, Scoop Hire will provide construction professionals with access to a modern fleet of equipment designed to support a wide range of project requirements. The available machinery includes excavators, skid steers, mini dumpers and a variety of specialised hydraulic attachments suited to civil, commercial and residential construction tasks.
In addition to providing equipment hire, the company will deliver comprehensive support services aimed at minimising project disruption and improving operational efficiency for contractors. A team of service agents and mechanics will be available around the clock to assist with equipment support and ensure any technical issues can be resolved quickly.
Scoop Hire will also offer flexible delivery and collection services across the Greater Geelong region, making it easier for construction teams to coordinate machinery requirements across multiple project sites.
By combining reliable equipment with efficient logistics and responsive technical support, the company aims to help contractors maintain productivity and meet project timelines more effectively.
Strengthening Victoria’s Construction Supply Network
Scoop Hire has grown steadily over the past 15 years, building a reputation for dependable equipment hire and customer-focused service. As a family-run Victorian business, the company has focused on maintaining high standards of machinery maintenance while offering transparent pricing and practical support for construction professionals.
With operational locations now spanning Sunshine North, the Macedon Ranges and Greater Geelong, Scoop Hire continues to expand its ability to support construction projects across Victoria. The company’s growing network of hubs enables faster equipment access, improved service response times and greater logistical flexibility for contractors working across multiple regions.
The establishment of the Geelong hub represents another milestone in the company’s development and reflects its commitment to supporting Victoria’s construction industry as it continues to evolve.
As infrastructure investment and residential development continue to accelerate across the state, Scoop Hire plans to remain focused on providing reliable equipment, responsive service and practical support to help builders and contractors deliver projects successfully.
