Queensland
Tool theft on the Gold Coast.
The Gold Coast build boom has more cranes per kilometre than most cities in the country. More cranes mean more sites. More sites mean more gear. More gear means more theft. TTT is the GPS tracker built to recover what walks overnight.
The pattern
Where Gold Coast tradies see it most
Building sites along the high-rise spine, residential builds across Pimpama and the northern corridor, hinterland sites in Mudgeeraba and Tallebudgera. Patterns are consistent with metro Queensland — opportunistic overnight hits, occasionally more organised theft of high-value plant.
The response
What Gold Coast tradies are doing about it
Bigger Gold Coast builders run telematics across plant; smaller crews are increasingly running per-asset trackers on toolboxes and trailers. TTT sits in the toolbox, the trailer or the lockup; geofence the depot and home; live mode when the alert fires.

FAQ
Gold Coast questions.
Local questions tradies in Gold Coast ask about reporting and recovery.
Does TTT work across the Gold Coast hinterland?
Yes — cellular coverage across the hinterland is generally good. LTE-M has better reach than 4G in pockets where coverage drops. Check Telstra coverage for your specific job sites if in doubt.
Is the Gold Coast price the same as the rest of Queensland?
Yes — $19/$39/Custom plans are nationwide. Hardware install pricing varies if you use a pro installer, but the monthly plan does not.
