After 35 years of hard work, reputation-building, and consistent profits, the owners of Bowen Wood Chipping are ready to pass the baton. What began as a local arborist service in a small coastal town has grown into one of the most trusted names in tree maintenance across North Queensland—and now, it’s available to the right buyer with a vision for the future.
Located in beautiful Bowen, this is more than a business. It’s a lifestyle. 

The operation runs from a home base with a small, experienced team, and services a wide mix of clients—from everyday homeowners to councils, developers, and large commercial customers. Work is steady, the gear is modern and well-maintained, and the business enjoys a reputation built on decades of reliable service, safety, and results.
This is a rare chance to step into a truly turnkey operation that delivers on both income and freedom. The current structure allows for a 9-day fortnight, providing that balance many business owners struggle to find. And because the business is well-known in the area, marketing efforts are minimal—clients come to you.

Flexible Sale Options
The business is being offered from $720,000 WIWO, which includes a generous portion of the plant and equipment required to keep operations running efficiently. This gives entry-level buyers or solo operators a chance to get started without overcommitting.
For those wanting a full-capacity setup, there's an option to acquire the entire fleet—a comprehensive package of late-model chippers, stump grinders, trucks, and specialist arborist equipment, all maintained to a high standard. You choose the scale that fits your budget and plans.

Built for Growth
Although the business is already well-established, there is clear potential for expansion. Bowen is growing—and nearby areas like Airlie Beach, Proserpine, Collinsville, and the Burdekin present real opportunities to scale. You could grow the team, extend services (landscaping, fencing, land clearing), or increase mulch and chip sales with basic marketing.

The Right Buyer
This opportunity will suit a range of buyers:
• A tradesperson ready to go out on their own
• A family or couple seeking a fresh start in a stunning part of Queensland
• An existing business looking to expand their footprint with equipment and contracts already in place
• Or even an investor wanting a reliable regional operation that can be run under management

The retiring owners are committed to a smooth transition and will provide all necessary training, systems, and operational support to help you hit the ground running.
If you’re looking for more than just a business—if you're chasing profit with purpose, a better lifestyle, and the chance to be your own boss in a beautiful, booming region—this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.
