SA Branch closes year with strong program

South Australia's branch closed 2025 with strong member engagement across three major events showcasing the breadth of sector activity statewide.

More than 100 members and guests gathered at the Pullman Adelaide Christmas celebration in November, with the highlight being Mark Taylor's (Cavpower) elevation to Fellow of the Institute of Quarrying (FIQ).  All South Australia branch FIQs present joined him on stage in recognition of his decades championing SA's quarrying sector and next generation of professionals.

The Young Members Network gained hands-on insight during a tour of Adbri's Sellicks Hard Rock Quarry, examining recent dust suppression upgrades and environmental control innovations, while the WHS Breakfast Seminar delivered urgent updates on silica risk management compliance and unveiled the Department for Energy and Mining's new Quarry Closure framework currently in development.

The SA committee is already planning for 2026, with the first event scheduled for March
