Kings Quarry Limited lodged an application in May 2025 to expand existing quarrying activities to enable the extraction and processing of approximately 500,000 tonnes per year for up to 100 years - up to 60 years for Stage 2 and 40 years for Stage 3.

“The project has been approved by an expert panel in just 66 days from appointment of a panel,” says Mr Bishop.

“The project will deliver long-term benefits by providing a local source for aggregate materials used in major infrastructure projects in the region. A range of important projects will no longer need to source aggregates from outside the region, which means cost can be kept to reasonable levels.

“Meeting aggregate demand locally is vital as it delivers direct transport cost savings, help lower emissions and heavy traffic levels on major roads, creating both economic and environmental benefits.”
