Mine life
30 years
Overview
The Bringelly Brickworks and Quarry comprises an existing clay and shale quarry and brick manufacturing facility operating since 1968 at 60 Greendale Road, Bringelly, New South Wales. A new project, the Bringelly Quarry and Cumberland Plain Woodland Restoration Project, is a proposed State Significant Development at 203 Greendale Road, Bringelly. This new open-cut quarry will supply a long-term clay resource for Brickworks' Austral Bricks operations in Sydney and includes the restoration of 74 hectares of Cumberland Plain Woodland.
Production
The existing quarry has an approved extraction of 200,000 tonnes per year of clay and shale. The proposed new quarry plans for the extraction of up to 850,000 tonnes per annum of raw material, with an average rate of 750,000 tonnes per annum, over a 30-year quarry life, totalling approximately 23 million tonnes of raw material.
Processing
The existing Bringelly Brickworks includes a brick manufacturing facility. The proposed new quarry will have no processing on site.
Equipment
Material at the new quarry will be extracted by ripping and pushing, then transported by truck.
Expansion
A modification to the development consent was submitted in late 2022 by PGH Bricks & Pavers Pty Ltd for an increase in extraction and production at the existing brickworks. A new project, the Bringelly Quarry and Cumberland Plain Woodland Restoration Project, is also planned to provide a long-term clay resource for Brickworks' Austral Bricks operations in Sydney.
