The HumeLink project is one of Australia’s largest new electricity transmission builds, delivering up to 365 km of high-voltage 500 kV overhead lines and substations that will connect the Wagga Wagga, Bannaby, and Maragle regions of southern New South Wales.
With remote rural access tracks, significant site works and a large mobile workforce, securing reliable HumeLink vehicle hire (especially rugged 4WDs) is absolutely essential to keeping crews, supervisors, and plant moving safely and efficiently across the whole of the alignment.
HumeLink is being delivered in two major packages:
Both sections include hundreds of new transmission towers and foundations, access track improvements and project roads, and worker accommodation facilities established in regional hubs such as Yass, Adjungbilly, Kunama, and Tarcutta. Together, these works mean your team will need dependable long-term transport and fleet support, with the project due to be completed over several years.
The HumeLink route traverses a wide distance of rural and agricultural landscapes with unsealed roads, forestry tracks and construction access points that may be rough or uneven, as well as regional roads with heightened vehicle movements due to project traffic.
The site specifications for the HumeLink project require vehicles working on site to be fitted with the following components:
Comfortable and capable on gravel and rural tracks.

Built for demanding off-road project conditions, with strong towing capacity and modern safety features.

Our Canberra branch is perfectly positioned to support anyone who’s part of the HumeLink workforce.
If a vehicle is required at Kunama, near Batlow, or even closer to Yass, Canberra is a practical hub for distribution and support since Canberra is much closer to Wagga Wagga and the HumeLink corridor than other major metropolitan depots.
This means we can reduce ferry and turnaround times, along with providing a network of preferred suppliers that eases maintenance logistics. Vehicles can be serviced and turned around with minimal disruption to your crew’s schedule.
Also, since Canberra Airport is a major hub for the area, FleetCrew can provide airport transfers and quick vehicle dispatches to get you off to the site quickly. This proximity means enhanced fleet dispatch options, including scheduled deliveries to towns around project sites.
