Trucking firm opens depot
Followmont Transport has officially started operations at its new Innisfail depot, marking another major milestone in the company’s continued investment across North and Far North Queensland.
Located at 15 Goondi Mill Rd, Goondi Bend, the new purpose-built facility replaces Followmont’s previous Innisfail site and significantly increases the company’s capacity and operational efficiency in the region.
The project, delivered in partnership with long-term property partner Bootooloo Property, began in late 2024 and reflects Followmont’s ongoing commitment to investing in regional infrastructure that supports local business, industry, and jobs.
The Innisfail development forms part of a broader regional strategy that has seen almost $40 million invested into North Queensland communities since 2020.
Followmont also recently completed a refrigeration and hardstand upgrade at its nearby Dickson Rd produce site, doubling capacity to meet growing demand from agricultural and food customers.
Followmont chief executive officer Ross Longmire said the scale of the projects spoke to the company’s confidence in the strength and future of the North Queensland economy.
“This investment in Innisfail is about more than just a new depot, it’s about building the right foundation to support our customers and people in the region,” Mr Longmire said.
“We’ve seen consistent demand in Far North Queensland, and this facility ensures we can continue delivering high-quality, reliable and flexible service that grows alongside our customers.
“Our investment in North Queensland is a reflection of our long-term commitment to the region, and our confidence in its continued growth.”
