Dunstans is a privately owned construction business based in Wangaratta, Victoria since 1950.
With a pioneering spirit George Dunstan went into business with his son Ray. They bought their first piece of plant, a 1945 Ford truck, and set out to facilitate the booming timber industry by transporting and milling red gum. Four years later in 1955, the Dunstans built their own red gum sawmill and began to supply infrastructure projects.
One year later, the father and son team purchased a Caterpillar D6 8U bulldozer which would see the company expand into other areas like earthmoving.
In the early 1990’s Ray’s son Murray took on the business and was instrumental in growing Dunstans into what it is today.
In 2019, the Perth based CFC Group acquired a stake in Dunstans. The CFC Group is one of Western Australia’s largest privately owned businesses and their input means that Dunstans continues to be a leading national contractor.

Throughout the company’s changes, growth and expansion, Dunstans has remained true to the RIPPA values and pioneering spirit of its foundation.
