Built by our team. Paddled by theirs.
The whole MBH team built, supplied and painted QPV Pork Chop for Gladstone Police to take on the 2026 Harbour Festival raft race. A different kind of building project, and one we were happy to get behind.
In Our Community
Backing the community we call home.
At Multitrade Building Hire (MBH), we live and work here too. We’re proud to support the clubs, charities, schools and events that bring Central Queensland together.
Sometimes that means sponsorship. Sometimes it means a building, facilities for an event, a delivery or our team getting involved.
Meet the organisations we support
Helping local events happen.
There’s plenty that goes on behind the scenes. From setting up a building to getting facilities ready for the crowd, practical help is a big part of how we contribute.
Gladstone Harbour Festival & Easter
A little help behind a big weekend.
Easter brings our harbour to life. We help with the buildings and facilities that organisers and visitors rely on, along with donated transport and installation by our team.

- Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht RaceAn annual donation of 6 × 3 m crib hire.
- Yacht Club Easter PartyToilet buildings for the Easter celebrations.
Getting behind Bella the Brave.
We’re proud to support Run for a Cure. Our 2026 contribution included Platinum sponsorship, BBQ food and practical help on the day, alongside the many volunteers and supporters who make the event possible.
Arts & emerging talent
Encouraging the next generation.
MBH is a longstanding supporter of the Martin Hanson Memorial Art Awards. In 2026, we’re proud to sponsor the Pieter Groen-int-woud Memorial Young Emerging Artist Award at the 51st Rio Tinto Yarwun & QAL Martin Hanson Memorial Art Awards.
It’s one way we help recognise young creative talent in our community.
