Aquatic Weed Removal and Equipment Hire

Aquatic Weed Harvester Australia started operation in 1994 under the leadership of Rodney Crutchfield and in consultation with the Alan Fletcher Research Station (QLD Department of Natural Resources) waterweed research and management developed a specialised machine that rapidly cleared weed infestation and stagnant waters. Unlike other systems mechanical weed harvesting improves water quality, removes pollutants and protects marine life. In 2012 Bradley Sinclair came onboard as Co-Director and in conjunction with the original company continued to develop, manufacture and operate Queensland designed and built harvesters. In 2019 Bradley Sinclair became the sole Director/Owner of Aquatic Weed Harvester Australia and now oversees business growth managing contracts with Councils and Water Utility Companies from Ballarat VIC to Far North QLD.
