Hutchison Quarries

What Hutchison Quarries does

Hutchison Quarries Pty Ltd is a hard rock quarrying operation based at Pink Gum Lane, Leslie Dam, in Queensland's Darling Downs, approximately 12 km from Warwick on the Cunningham Highway. The company extracts and processes a broad portfolio of quarry products including road base, rail ballast, aggregates (5mm-20mm), pre-coated aggregates, drainage rock, gabion rock, armour rock, TMR-approved cement treated bases, general and select fill, and manufactured sand/crusher dust. Its production technology centers on a state-of-the-art fully autonomous crushing and screening plant capable of high tonnage rates, supplemented by a pugmill for achieving optimum moisture content in unbound pavement materials and an onsite pre-coating plant for cover aggregates. Since founding in July 2004 and acquisition by COLAS Australia Group in 2022, the company has expanded its fleet with Caterpillar 336GC excavators and Volvo A45G articulated dump trucks, and holds Queensland TMR quarry accreditation (2023-070) across multiple product categories.

The business operates a B2B sales-led model, supplying landscaping, road building, concrete production and construction companies across South East Queensland through direct quarry sales with owned heavy haulage delivery. Pricing is quote-based with payment on delivery or 30-day credit terms, and revenue is generated across three streams: quarry products sales, contract crushing services, and heavy haulage solutions. Customers range from major regional construction, road building, concrete production and landscaping enterprises to local government bodies (originally Warwick Shire Council). With up to 15 staff at the Pink Gum Lane site, Hutchison Quarries is a small, regionally focused operator whose differentiation rests on TMR accreditation, in-house autonomous processing capability, owned haulage, and a diversified product range. Operational maturity is reinforced by a community-facing Scott Hutchison Memorial Traineeship program with Warwick State High School and over $100,000 invested in dust suppression upgrades with Dust-A-Side Australia.
