The Boral Orange Grove quarry was established in 1962 by Swan Quarries and has been managed by Boral since 1982.
The quarry is 18.6 kilometres southeast from Perth and situated next to semi-rural/rural residential properties, including hobby farms, orchards and vineyards. Orange Grove Quarry has over 20 full time employees and a further 30 plus truck drivers.
The Orange Grove Quarry supplies Perth with
- Aggregates of various grades (suitable for concrete and asphalt production)
- Gabion Stone
- Amour Rock
- Roadbase
Boral is committed to keeping residents informed and working with the community to improve its processes and reduce the impact of its operations, wherever possible.
The Boral Community Reference Group (BCRG) plays an important role in reviewing key aspects of the quarry operations (dust, vibration, truck movements) the group also reviews the quarries handling of community complaints and commitments. The BCRG meets twice a year to provide the important connection between the Orange Grove quarry and the community. There have been many commitments made and honoured due to the feedback of the BCRG, these commitment have led to changes ranging from simple adjustments to our monitoring process to a multi-million dollar facility upgrade.
