Higgins strengthens regional presence with Northern Rivers branch opening 

We’re pleased to announce the opening of our Northern Rivers branch today, strengthening our footprint across southern Queensland and northern New South Wales, and reinforcing our commitment to delivering high-quality, locally supported painting and maintenance services.

Based in Tweed Heads South, our new branch services the broader Northern Rivers region—from Byron Bay and Ballina to Lismore, Tweed Heads and surrounding hinterland areas—providing clients with dedicated local support backed by our national capability.

Higgins has already established a strong presence in the region, delivering large-scale projects across a variety of industry sectors from our Gold Coast branch. Our Northern Rivers team is led by Branch Manager Thomas Hitchen, who brings more than 10 years of Higgins experience to the role.

“Opening our Northern Rivers branch is an important step in strengthening our presence in the region,” said Thomas.

“We’re focused on providing practical, reliable solutions and building strong relationships with our clients through consistent delivery and quality outcomes.”

Queensland General Manager, Cameron Steindl, said the new branch supports our broader growth strategy along the eastern seaboard. “The Northern Rivers is a key market for Higgins, and having a dedicated local team allows us to respond quickly and deliver the level of service our clients expect,” said Cameron.

“This investment ensures we can continue to support clients with both local knowledge and the backing of a national business.”

With the branch now open, we are well positioned to continue to support businesses across the Northern Rivers with end-to-end painting and maintenance solutions.
