      50 years of honest and reliable earthmoving.

      2022 marks 50 years of Vernice Pty Ltd as an incorporated business. Half a century of successful operations is a huge milestone for any business, especially a family-owned one. This latest milestone follows many others we have been proud to achieve over the years including:

      • First ever machine purchase – Fowler Crawler Tractor, then bought a couple of AW tractors and dozers.
      • First brand new machine purchase– Leyland Hippo Truck 1966/7.
      • First major civil project – Campersic Road (City of Swan) and the Subdivision at Sandplain Road, Toodyay.
      • First Main Roads project – In the 1970’s, Vernice completed some dozer work (D7) on Toodyay Bindi-Bindi Road. The project was to widen and upgrade the road.
      • Other early Main Roads Projects - In the 1980s, the final section of the Great Northern Highway, Vernice wet hired the D9 Dozer to complete the last lot of bitumen/sealing. This section of the highway linked Halls Creek to Fitzroy Crossing.
      • Father to Sons – Transition for the control of quotations and projects to the Vern’s sons.
      • Directorship Handover – Michael, Stephen and Paul became directors of Vernice.
      • Major Projects including Airstrip construction in Onslow for Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forest, Minderoo Station gravel pushing and crushing and most recently the Yandin Windfarm, constructing infrastructure for 51 turbines.
      • Becoming quality, safety and environmentally certified with
        • ISO9001 Quality Management Systems
        • ISO14001 Environmental Management Systems and;
        • ISO45001:2018 OH&S Management Systems – the latest safety standard.
