The quarrying sector employs over 70,000 people in SA and contributes to improving the lives of everyday South Australians through provision of construction materials to major infrastructure and building projects. Adelaide is fortunate to have high quality road and concrete making materials located close by which reduces the cost of infrastructure upgrades when compared with other states.
