Victoria, Australia · Processing Facility

Operating
GraphiteSilica SandKaolinHalloysiteTitaniumIron Ore (Magnetite)+39
Overview
The Waurn Ponds facility in Victoria, Australia, is an operating quarry and recycling operation owned by Boral Limited. It extracts materials like limestone, sandstone, aggregates, sand, and fill to produce crushed rock and roadbase. The site also includes a recycling operation, in partnership with Delta Group, which processes construction and demolition waste such as concrete, bricks, and reclaimed asphalt into recycled aggregates, sands, and roadbase. A former cement manufacturing plant on the site has ceased operations and is being repurposed.
Processing
The quarrying process involves the extraction of rock, which is then crushed and screened to produce various grades of aggregate and other construction materials. The recycling process involves sorting, crushing, and blending recovered construction and demolition waste to produce recycled construction materials.
Equipment
Boral is currently undertaking a multi-year investment program to upgrade its heavy machinery fleet across Australia, which includes the rollout of new front-end loaders, excavators, and dump trucks.
Expansion
The former cement manufacturing plant at the Waurn Ponds site has been decommissioned, with cement operations relocated to the Port of Geelong. The land from the old cement works is undergoing a rejuvenation project, with plans for a precinct that may include tourism, commercial, and residential developments. A portion of this land has been returned to the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation.

GraphiteSilica SandKaolinHalloysiteTitaniumIron Ore (Magnetite)+39
Opened
1965-01-01
Workforce
The operating site employs 48 full-time staff and provides work for up to 45 transport drivers.
Overview
The Deer Park site in Victoria, Australia, established in 1965, is an integrated Boral Limited facility supplying building and construction materials to Melbourne.

The asphalt plant uses aggregates from the quarry, sand from Boral Bacchus Marsh Quarry, and bitumen. The concrete plant produces pre-mixed concrete using aggregates and sand from the on-site and Bacchus Marsh quarries, with cement from Boral's Waurn Ponds Works. The recycling facility processes construction and demolition waste, including concrete, brick, masonry, and reclaimed asphalt, into reusable construction materials.
Equipment
The site includes a new processing plant with crushers and screens, and Boral Logistics agitators (concrete trucks).
