North Central Quarry

Conundrum Holdings is seeking to supply much needed basalt to Victoria’s ever-increasing infrastructure projects. Quality basalt with direct access onto the State road network is exceptionally hard to find.
Our short-life quarry will bring new, wide-ranging local jobs in quarry operations, laboratory testing and site administration. It will support over 1,500 wholesale customers, and 700 suppliers and service providers that we need to function.
Basalt from this site will bring significant economic and community activity to the region and, once rehabilitated, can be incorporated into the urban fabric.

Next steps |
We’ve submitted a new Planning Permit Application for this site which is being considered by the Mitchell Shire Council. The application materials can be found here.
This application differs from the previous application by reducing its scale and scope of extraction to ensure that the quarry can be close to the end of its life as the surrounding land is developed under a future Precinct Structure Plan.
Thank you to all who added their voice in support of North Central Quarry. We can only say how proud and honoured we are of your comments and how astute our business partners are. On behalf of all concerned, we thank you.
