As 2021 comes to an end, I wanted to thank you for your support throughout an undoubtedly big year for Multhana. 

 

From commencing major infrastructure contracts to being recognised as finalists in eight awards, and appearing on Channel 7 (twice!), Multhana certainly hit many new milestones in 2021. 

 

Most rewarding of all, we are proudly finishing the year with over 200 people employed at Multhana, in cleaning, landscaping, health and safety, administration, finance, IT, and management roles. Our average Indigenous workforce rate for the year was 26%, and reached as high as 58% in some months.

Major infrastructure projects commenced

 

Our landscaping division commenced their first major infrastructure project with the Department of Transport and Main Roads and ACCIONA – Contract 1 of the Bruce Highway upgrade (Caboolture-Bribie Island Road to Steve Irwin Way – Exit 162).

 

Joining the project for Contract 2 was Multhana’s cleaning division, who were awarded the cleaning package with Fulton Hogan. The division also commenced cleaning for Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 3 Early Works with John Holland.

Taking action on reconciliation together

 

I had the opportunity to address Brisbane City Council about reconciliation and the positive outcomes Multhana are creating with Council, as well as meet the RAP (reconciliation action plan) working groups of Multhana’s clients to support reconciliation efforts in their organisations. 

Award recognitions

 

Multhana were finalists in eight award nominations, including the Lord Mayor’s Business Awards, QLD Reconciliation Awards, Landscape QLD 2021 Construction Excellence Awards, and BSCAA Excellence Awards

Supporting local communities 

 

We proudly supported local Indigenous communities, including sponsoring the 2021 Queensland Murri Carnival, Yarrabah Seahawks Junior Rugby team, Ipswich Jets Indigenous Appreciation Day, and Jets Netball Club Indigenous uniform. 

Throughout all this we couldn’t be more grateful for your support throughout 2021, enabling Multhana to continue providing economic sustainability for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.  

 

On behalf of the Multhana team, we wish you a safe and happy Christmas, and a bright year ahead.

 

I look forward to sharing our journey in 2022 with you.

 

Take care,

Joey

Depot Christmas Festivities! 

 

Multhana’s Brisbane City Council Bus Cleaning teams held their own Christmas dinners across the seven bus depots at Virginia, Sherwood, Eagle Farm, Willawong, Toowong, Carina, and Upper Mount Gravatt!

 

Staff were presented with a special gift to acknowledge their hard work and achievements throughout the year.

Over the course of the contract, many of the teams have become close friends. Hailey, Site Supervisor of the Virginia Depot, says: “We’re like a family. We spend a lot of time together – up to 6 nights a week – so we have become very tight.”

Most recently, the teams were finalists in the BSCAA (Building Services Contractors Association of Australia) 2021 Excellence Awards for ‘Most Valuable Cleaning Team in SEQ’.
