Boral’s Bombo Quarry is located near the NSW South Coast town of Kiama.
Together with a NSW Government-owned and operated quarry immediately to its east, Boral’s site forms a ‘precinct’ from which millions of tonnes of aggregates have been produced since the first quarry was gazetted in 1947.
The landholding in which Boral’s quarry is positioned is approximately 46 hectares in size.

The landholding in which Boral’s quarry is positioned is approximately 46 hectares in size.
An Environmental Protection Licence (EPL) which still applies to the site permits production of up to 500 000 tonnes per annum.
For more than 75 years Bombo Quarry has been playing a critical role in supplying ballast, aggregates and road base across NSW.
Although part of the quarry site is still operational, the Precinct’s landowners, Transport Asset Holding Entity (TAHE) and Boral, are planning for its long-term future, and have prepared a draft Master Plan to ensure the site remains an iconic south coast location.
Unlocking Bombo Quarry Master Plan (the draft Master Plan) is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a sustainable and vibrant community where people can live, work and play once quarry operations come to an end.
Detailed investigations are taking place to inform the draft Master Plan which will form part of the overall rezoning for the Precinct.
The draft Master Plan responds to current and future growth opportunities, as well as Kiama Council's (Council) recent development of its Growth and Housing Strategy. It also supports actions within the NSW Government’s Illawarra Shoalhaven Regional Plan 2041, including developing a vision for the site.
As our plans evolve, we will be working closely with the NSW Government, Council and the local community to transform the future of this unique site, while respecting the area’s unique landform and character.
