First Transport is an Aboriginal-owned and operated company playing a vital role on the North East Link, transporting precast tunnel segments from Benalla to the entrance of the tunnels in Watsonia. 

Jacob Gabriel, First Transport CEO, is dedicated to providing high quality service and creating long-term employment opportunities for First Nations Peoples, fostering growth and resilience within the community. 

With Webuild in Australia currently delivering its third Reconciliation Action Plan, we’re proud our vision to enable equal participation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples is reflected throughout the nation-building projects we deliver. We are committed to leaving a positive legacy that goes beyond construction and supports a more sustainable future for all communities and people.

About the Project

Webuild, as part of the Spark Joint Venture is delivering the North East Link tunnels for the Victorian government. The project will enable a more sustainable future by taking 15,000 trucks off local roads every day and reducing travel times by up to 35 minutes for commuters. Once complete, it will be the longest road tunnel in Victoria.
