Meet Phil

Phil Gibson

Hi, I'm Phil Gibson and I’m a qualified Vehicle Mechanic with 30 plus years of Industry experience. I operate a local business in Townsville North Queensland where I carry out repairs and servicing on Trailers and caravans as well as stock and sell quality 4wd accessories. Townsville has been my home since 1993 and it's where we have raised our family. I'm structured as a Sole Trader business and love every minute of it as this business structure allows me to keep my overheads down which transpires to great prices for my customers.

My motto is "Getting you home safely" and I achieve this by providing exceptional service and quality products at affordable prices. I'm a keen off-road enthusiast who regularly gets out camping and playing in the mud to personally test the products I stock and sell. I provide a mobile servicing unit which brings my service to you so that you don't have the hassles of having to drop off your trailer or caravan. I happily service trailers of all trades out on site so that you don't experience any downtime and can keep your job site progressing by avoiding unwanted breakdowns.

I have a close working relationship with the local caravan parks in the Townsville area and can carry out repairs or services on site, so you don't go without your accommodation during your stay. Please get in contact with me for all your repairs and servicing needs as well as the 4WD accessories and recovery gear that will ensure you and your family will get home safely.

Phil’s Bush Cleanup

I love to give back to the local community by running community clean up events where we remove illegally dumped rubbish and abandoned vehicles from local bushland. I am committed to transforming local Fish Habitat Zones, fragile biodiversity reserves and our local National Parks back to their natural state by removing all the illegally dumped rubbish. I achieve this by working closely with state and local Government Departments.

Our Immediate Outcomes:

Remove illegally dumped rubbish from Fish Habitat Zones and mangroves in the Townsville Port Access Road reserve area, preventing it from washing out into the ocean and degrade the water quality of The Great Barrier Reef.
Remove the illegally dumped rubbish from tidal flats to improve declared fish habitat zones and reducing the impact from cyclones.
To ensure access tracks around the power line infrastructure is cleared of rubbish so maintenance vehicles can get to the area to carry out maintenance work during disasters.
Remove rubbish from the vehicle tracks for emergency vehicles to traverse the area to fight fires and tend to emergencies.
Remove abandoned and deteriorated structures that have become an environmental hazard.
Raise awareness of illegal dumping on social media and in the community.
Allow the Queensland Parks & Wildlife Rangers to carry out other duties without having to continuously deal with illegally dumped rubbish.

Phil’s Bush Cleanup is a member group under North Queensland Conservation Council, NQCC, as is covered within their insurance policies. We are also involved in the Illegal Dumping Committee formed here in North Queensland.

Phil’s Bush Cleanup works closely with the landowners and all levels of Government. Written permission has been granted to Phil’s Bush Cleanup to carry out and undertake community cleanup events on all the land parcels that we operate on.

Phil's Bush Cleanup

We give back

One at a time.

Over the past few years Phil’s Bush Cleanup has completed many community events within the Townsville Port Access Road Reserve and has removed more than 40,000 kgs of illegally dumped rubbish while also maintaining the condition of the vehicle tracks and power line access. This rubbish has been removed from fish habitat zones, estuary run off areas, mangrove swamps and salt couch marshes.
