Portable Toilet Hire & Temporary Power Poles in Brisbane
Brisbane is at the heart of South East Queensland’s construction boom, with activity spanning inner-city townhouse projects, commercial fit-outs, and major infrastructure works across almost every suburb. From Woolloongabba and Kangaroo Point through to the northern and southern growth corridors, builders are driving strong demand for reliable temporary site services that can keep pace with tight programs and multiple concurrent projects. With a centrally positioned depot in Capalaba, we’re able to dispatch quickly across the entire Brisbane metro area, supporting both short-term and long-term construction timelines.
On Brisbane sites, our most in-demand solution is the Builder’s Site Power Pole (TBS), providing metered temporary power for the full duration of a residential build. This is supported by a complete suite of site hire services, including portable toilets with scheduled fortnightly servicing, standalone security camera poles to deter theft on unattended sites, and underground power connections for estates with concealed mains. Brisbane’s compact lots and busy streetscapes make access and pole placement critical, so our installation team works within council setback rules and Energex requirements, coordinating directly with your electrician to deliver a compliant, practical setup from day one—whether you’re a volume builder managing multiple jobs or an owner-builder running a single project.

Location FAQs
Same-day delivery is often available for Brisbane CBD and inner suburbs. Power connections depend on Energex processing times, usually 3-5 days.
Yes, we service all Brisbane suburbs from the CBD to outer areas including Chermside, Carindale, and Indooroopilly.
Yes. Many Brisbane builders hire a single product — just a temporary power pole, just a portaloo, or just a security camera — and that's perfectly fine. However, the best value for Brisbane metro sites comes from bundling all three: we offer a package discount for builders who hire power, toilet, and camera together, and a single delivery run saves you on call-out fees versus separate drop-offs from our Capalaba depot.
Yes. For Brisbane sites, our solar-powered security cameras stream footage to a private cloud, with local SD card backup as a failsafe. Each hire comes with exclusive app access for the site owner — Poles and Holes does not view or retain your footage. The 4G cameras are popular on inner-Brisbane sites where tool theft is a recurring issue, particularly in areas like Bulimba, Kelvin Grove, and West End.
