Date: Wednesday 5th April | Time: 9:00am-3:00pm
Location: Boral Peppertree Quarry & Marulan South Limestone
Transport: All guests to travel by Bus
The NSW Branch Young Members Network (YMN) has planned a great day out providing an opportunity for education, networking and professional development.
Join us at Boral Peppertree Quarry in the NSW Southern Tablelands town of Marulan. Peppertree Quarry is a hard rock aggregates quarry that began operations in early 2014. The quarry extracts up to 3.5 million tonnes of primary production annually.
There will be a site tour of the facility where you will see the Lokotrack LT160 (largest in-house mobile crusher in Australia) in operation and hear from the quarry team.
You will then visit the Marulan South Limestone Mine Lookout, directly south of Boral Peppertree Quarry where there will be a viewing of the pit and discussions with the Quarry Manager. The Limestone Quarry dates back as far as the 1830s with today's operations producing up to four million tonnes of limestones and 200,000 tonnes of clay/shale per year.
This is a day not to be missed. Network with like-minded industry, get to know your peers, share ideas and experiences, and build key industry relationships.
A light lunch will be included. Everyone is welcome.
Boral Peppertree Quarry | Marulan South
Boral's Peppertree Quarry is located upon significant granodiorite deposits near the NSW Southern Tablelands town of Marulan. The Operations play an essential role in supplying aggregate-based building and construction materials to industry across NSW and the ACT.
Peppertree Quarry, (a hard rock aggregates quarry) began operations in early 2014 following a decade-long planning and construction process. The quarry was developed as a replacement resource for the Penrith Lakes quarries at Emu Plains in western Sydney, which ceased extraction during September 2015.
The quarry lands cover 650 hectares to the north of the Marulan South Limestone Mine. Under existing approvals, the granodiorite resource underlying 70 hectares of this land is being extracted.
Up to 3.5 million tonnes of aggregates per year can be produced by the quarry at peak production. Materials are transported via rail to terminals at Maldon, St Peters and Enfield, from which they are distributed to customers via road. With activity taking place 24 hours a day, seven days per week, the quarry supports around 100 local jobs, including contractors.

Young Member Network (YMN)
The YMN was established to provide young members (35 years of age and under) with guidance, support and an opportunity to develop a successful career within the industry. The aim is to encourage younger people to get involved in the IQA and provide a national network where they can share ideas and experiences, build key industry contacts and perhaps develop new friendships. The YMN events target those 35 years of age or under. If you are outside this age demographic you can still attend but the focus is on engaging younger people. IQA Members and Non-Members are welcome to attend.
Is this event for you?
All quarrying and extractive industry operators, suppliers and associated industries are welcome to attend.
This event is hosted by IQA's Young Member Network
*If you or a young member of your team would benefit from this career development opportunity, we encourage you to register now.
