Vestone Capital was named LGP Approved Contractor of the Year 2026 at this year's LGP Conference Dinner, recognising its ongoing commitment to supporting NSW councils with responsive service, specialist expertise and flexible equipment finance solutions.
The award reflects the strong relationships Vestone has built with councils across NSW. The company reports that it has supported around one in two NSW councils with equipment finance.
Supporting councils beyond IT equipment
When people think of equipment finance, technology is often the first thing that comes to mind. In reality, councils use it to fund a wide range of assets that support infrastructure, service delivery and community outcomes:
| Construction & Civil Equipment | Support infrastructure projects and ongoing maintenance programs. • Excavators and loaders • Backhoes and skid steers • Rollers and compactors • Road maintenance equipment |
| Vehicles | Keep council teams moving across communities. • Passenger vehicles • Utility vehicles (utes) • Operational fleet vehicles • Ranger and compliance vehicles |
| Waste & Recycling Equipment | Support waste collection and circular economy initiatives. • Garbage trucks • Recycling collection vehicles • Compactors • Waste bins and containers |
| Playground & Community Infrastructure | Create and maintain spaces that support healthy, active and connected communities. • Playground equipment • Shade structures • Outdoor recreation assets |
| Parks & Grounds Maintenance Equipment | Maintain sporting fields, parks and public spaces with modern groundskeeping equipment. • Commercial mowers • Utility vehicles • Landscaping machinery |
| Street Sweepers & Public Works Equipment | Maintain cleaner, safer public spaces with equipment designed for daily council operations. • Street sweepers • Road maintenance equipment • Public works machinery |
| EV Charging Infrastructure | Support sustainability objectives and future-ready transport networks. • Public EV charging stations • Fleet charging infrastructure • Smart charging solutions • Associated electrical equipment |
| Community & Recreation Facilities | Enhance community spaces with equipment designed to improve resident wellbeing and participation. • Gym and fitness equipment • Recreation centre equipment • Sporting facility assets |
Supporting a circular economy
Vestone Capital is also an approved LGP Circular Economy Supplier, offering councils an end-of-lease solution for retired IT equipment.
Rather than allowing old devices to sit in storage or end up in landfill, Vestone coordinates a process that includes:
- Collection: Retired IT equipment is collected directly from council sites.
- Secure data erasure: Devices are securely wiped to protect council and community data.
- Remarketing and reuse: Equipment that remains usable can be resold and given a second life.
- Responsible recycling: End-of-life equipment is recycled through certified partners, helping recover valuable materials and reduce e-waste.
This provides councils with a clearer pathway for managing retired assets while supporting data security and circular economy objectives.
