Welcome to the Boral Montrose Extension Project information website

Boral is seeking to extend the life of the existing quarry and has lodged a submission of a variation to the existing Work Plan, this process must satisfy any requirements prescribed by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) - Regulatory Operations (RA) division. The referral documents can be found here.

This website provides all the information regarding the project in one central place, our media release is available here.

Boral’s Montrose Quarry has provided the foundations for development and growth across the greater Melbourne metropolitan area almost 70 years.

With Victoria’s population set to reach 10 million before 2050 and the federal and state government’s infrastructure investment and bold housing reforms there will be a huge demand for a sustainable and cost-effective supply of quarry materials.

• Boral is seeking to extend the existing extraction boundary to increase the life of the Montrose quarry by approximately 30 years.
• The proposed extension will increase the current extraction area by approximately 12.5 hectares.
• And will allow approx. 26 million tonnes of additional stone to be quarried. 
• If successful Boral will upgrade to signalised control the intersection at Canterbury Road and Fussell Road. This upgrade will improve safety and benefit other properties and businesses in the area.

Quarries play an important role in providing the base materials needed to build new road, rail, housing, school and hospital projects needed to support our growing state.

Given the quarries direct connection to EastLink and the broader freeway network it is a significant supplier of construction materials for Victoria’s ‘Big Build’ projects.

Without rock construction stops.
