This creates diverse soil and terrain conditions: **Coastal plain (Wollongong, Shellharbour):** Sandy and clay soils. Generally good excavation conditions. **Escarpment areas (Figtree, Unanderra, Farmborough Heights):** Steeper terrain, rocky conditions in places. The 3.5T with hydraulic rock breaker may be required for rocky sites. **Kiama and Berry:** Fertile agricultural soils — generally good excavation conditions. ### Wollongong Construction Activity Wollongong is experiencing strong construction growth driven by: - Significant residential development (particularly in Shellharbour and Kiama) - Infrastructure investment (Illawarra Shoalhaven Regional Plan) - University of Wollongong campus expansion - Industrial development in Port Kembla ### Wollongong Delivery Pricing Delivery to Wollongong and the Illawarra is priced based on distance from BuildHire's Sydney depot.
