Blackwater Quarries & Concrete

What Blackwater Quarries & Concrete does

Blackwater Quarries & Concrete, founded in 1982 in Blackwater, Queensland, operates as the branded network of Regional Group Australia — a subsidiary platform of ASX-listed Maas Group Holdings (MGH). The company runs an integrated quarrying, concrete, mobile crushing, and transport operation across the eastern seaboard of Australia, encompassing 44 quarries, 17 fixed concrete batching plants, 118 mobile crushing units, and a fleet of more than 200 trucks spanning New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria. It is ISO 9001 certified and holds approved mix designs with Transport for NSW, the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR), and VicRoads, which together pre-qualify the business for state road and major civil infrastructure tenders.

Its product portfolio spans quarry aggregates (including the lightweight Aerolite Scoria sourced from Anakie, Victoria), standard ready-mix concrete, and CarbonCrete — a proprietary lower-embodied-carbon mix claimed to reduce embodied carbon by 60–75% versus conventional concrete. The mobile crushing and on-site batching capability extends service delivery to remote infrastructure projects, reducing customer dependence on fixed-plant logistics. Customers are split between public-sector infrastructure (NSW Roads and Maritime Services, Transport for NSW, multiple local councils including Narrabri, Parkes, Orange, Dubbo, Temora, and Gilgandra), tier-1 civil contractors (Fulton Hogan, John Holland, BMD), renewable-energy developers and EPCs (Wambo Wind Farm, Zenviron, Haslin), and defence (Australian Defence Force Shoalwater Bay training area). Revenue is generated through tendered supply contracts, schedule-of-rates frameworks with state road authorities, and project-based supply agreements with major contractors; no standalone pricing model or revenue disclosure is provided at the Blackwater entity level, with financials consolidated within Maas Group Holdings.

• Boral Limited: Australia's largest vertically integrated construction materials and building products business, supplying aggregates, concrete, and asphalt across NSW/QLD/VIC; closest like-for-like in scale and customer profile.

Broad incumbents

• Adbri: Diversified construction materials and lime/mining producer with national aggregate and concrete operations; comparable across product categories but with a broader portfolio including cement and lime.
• Cement Australia: Largest Australian cement and clinker producer, supplying a key upstream input into the subject's concrete mixes; comparable in the materials value chain rather than as a direct aggregates competitor.

Regional players

• CPB Contractors (CIMIC Group): Major tier-one Australian civil contractor executing infrastructure projects that drive demand for the subject company's materials; comparable as a downstream buyer/adjacent operator rather than a direct quarrying peer.
• NRW Holdings: Australia-focused diversified civil contractor with quarrying and materials supply within its broader infrastructure portfolio; overlaps in raw materials supply for mining and civil construction.

Others

• Maas Group Holdings: Listed parent of the subject company and a diversified Australian infrastructure, property, and construction materials group; comparable as the consolidated entity in which the subject's operations reside.
