Quarries of Queensland

What Quarries of Queensland does

Quarries of Queensland is a privately held quarry operator headquartered in Emerald, Central Queensland, Australia, founded in 2006. The company operates four quarries across the Bowen Basin — Skyville Quarry (Moranbah), Eureka Quarry (Capella, in the Lilyvale mining area), Mazeppa Quarry (Clermont), and Mt Curio Quarry (Springsure) — producing road base (multiple Type 2 and Type 3 specifications, plus Mine Spec Gravel and Bulk Fill), aggregates (Stemmings, Ballast, Concrete Aggregates, Screenings), rock protection products (Shot Rock, Gabian Rock, Armour Rock), sand products (Bedding Sand, Crusher Dust, Builders Mix), and topsoil and clay. All materials are produced to Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads specifications and tested by NATA-accredited laboratories. The company also provides onsite crushing and screening services to clients across Central Queensland.

The business is built around a state-of-the-art crushing plant designed to widen product range and improve consistency, paired with a computerised order tracking system to manage delivery accuracy. Its primary customers are the Central Queensland mining industry (underground mine ballast, road construction, drainage), the construction industry (concrete and asphalt production, road building), civil contractors, and state and local government entities requiring Department of Transport and Main Roads specification material.

Quarries of Queensland operates a direct sales model with no digital self-service ordering; transactions are initiated by phone or email, and product delivery is handled directly from the four quarry locations to project sites throughout the region. Pricing is quote-based on product type, quantity, and delivery location, with the company emphasising competitive rates. The company is privately held with no disclosed investors, funding history, or ownership structure.

Broad incumbents

• Hy-Tec (Construction Products Group): Hy-Tec is an Australian concrete and aggregates producer supplying quarry products to construction and infrastructure customers in Queensland and NSW. It competes with Quarries of Queensland on aggregate and sand supply but also offers downstream concrete and premix products.
• CEMEX Australia: CEMEX operates aggregates quarries and concrete plants in Australia supplying road base, sand, and aggregates to construction and infrastructure markets. It overlaps with Quarries of Queensland on DTMR-spec materials and competes for mining and government accounts at national scale.
• Hanson Australia (Heidelberg Materials): Hanson, now part of Heidelberg Materials, runs a national network of quarries supplying aggregates, sand, and concrete materials to construction and infrastructure markets. It competes with Quarries of Queensland for mining and government supply contracts and offers broader downstream product lines.
• Adbri Limited: Adbri is a major Australian manufacturer of clinker, cement, and concrete products with integrated aggregates supply. It competes with Quarries of Queensland on aggregate materials for concrete and road base production across the eastern seaboard, including Queensland.
• Holcim Australia: Holcim (formerly Lafarge) operates aggregates quarries and concrete plants across Australia, including Queensland. It overlaps with Quarries of Queensland on DTMR-spec road base, aggregates, and concrete sand, but operates nationally and offers cement and downstream concrete products as well.
• Boral Limited: Boral is Australia's largest integrated aggregates, concrete, and asphalt producer with extensive quarry operations nationwide, including Central Queensland. It competes directly with Quarries of Queensland on road base and aggregate supply to mining and government customers, but at vastly greater scale and with broader product and geographic reach.

Regional players

• Winstone Aggregates (Fletcher Building): Winstone Aggregates is a New Zealand-based aggregates producer with quarries producing road base, drainage aggregate, and specialty stone. While primarily NZ-focused, it is comparable in business model — vertically integrated aggregates quarrying — and informs what a scaled independent regional operator looks like.

Direct peers

• Allstone Quarries: Allstone Quarries is a regional Queensland-based aggregate and quarry products supplier serving construction and civil infrastructure customers. It is closely comparable to Quarries of Queensland in product range (road base, aggregates, sand) and mid-market regional positioning.
• Wagner Quarries: Wagner Quarries is an Australian independently operated quarry producing road base, aggregates, and sand for infrastructure and mining customers. As a regional independent with overlapping product mix and customer base, it is a direct peer to Quarries of Queensland in scale and go-to-market.

Emerging players

• Neumann Contractors: Neumann Contractors operates quarry and civil construction operations across Queensland, including the Bowen Basin, supplying aggregates and road base to mining clients. It overlaps with Quarries of Queensland on the same regional mining customers and product categories, while also performing civil contracting.
