Holcim’s key customers in the region, who purchase hard rock, include Department of Transport and Main Roads, Queensland Rail, Rockhampton Regional Council and Livingstone Shire Council as well as local construction companies who facilitate the development and maintenance of infrastructure, housing, and community assets in the region.
About the project
Since 2021, Holcim has undertaken investigations and commenced approval application processes associated with the proposed extension of the quarry extraction area - the Nerimbera Quarry Extension Project.
In parallel, Holcim has been working to optimise our existing operation, securing reserves required to service our local communities across Livingstone Shire and Rockhampton Regional Council areas, as well as key infrastructure projects including the Rockhampton Ring Road.
As such, it has been identified that the Nerimbera Quarry Extension, which sought to extend the quarry pit to the south-east, is not required in the short- to medium-term. Therefore, Holcim has withdrawn the development application for the Nerimbera Quarry Extension and will focus on the continued development of the existing Nerimbera Quarry.
The Nerimbera Quarry and future extension area remain a Key Resource Area and it is expected that the extension will be progressed in future years as our region continues to grow.
