Production and Transport Surcharge 

29 April 2026

Whilst the situation in the Middle East remains unstable and unpredictable, developments over the past two weeks have led to a moderation in the cost of the diesel specific components of our production and supply chain costs.

As previously communicated, the impacts of the conflict do extend beyond diesel to a broad range of input costs associated Boral’s production and supply of construction materials and it is important to view the moderation of diesel costs in that broader context.

As a result of the moderation in diesel costs over the past two weeks, we are pleased to advise a reduction of our Production and Transport surcharges, effective 4 May 2026, for:

·         Quarry material supplied on Ex-Bin only basis

·         Quarry material supplied on a Delivered basis

·         Concrete

·         Recycled material supplied on Ex-Bin only basis

·         Recycled material supplied on a Delivered basis

Individual letters communicating this have been sent to our customers.

Notably, the situation in the Middle East remains volatile and it is difficult to predict the nature and quantum of future impacts. We will continue to closely monitor our global and domestic supply chains to ensure continuity of supply and to minimise impacts wherever possible in this rapidly evolving situation.

Our priority remains to provide transparent, timely information to you as it comes to hand, to support your forward planning.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

The ongoing geopolitical unrest in the Middle East has continued to place significant and sustained upward pressure on global energy and commodity costs.

The recent Federal Government announcement regarding temporary relief on the fuel excise and heavy vehicle road user charge, has provided only moderate relief to Boral’s underling fuel costs, given Boral's significant off-road fuel usage and its existing eligibility for fuel tax credits.

The cost impacts for Boral go beyond diesel to affect a broad range of costs associated with Boral’s production and supply of construction materials. As a result of the continued rapid escalation in this range of production and supply chain related costs we have increased Production and Transport surcharges for:

  • Quarry material supplied on Ex-Bin only basis
  • Quarry material supplied on a Delivered basis
  • Concrete
  • Recycled material supplied on Ex-Bin only basis
  • Recycled material supplied on a Delivered basis

The situation in the Middle East and its flow-on cost implications continue to evolve rapidly. We continue to closely monitor global and domestic market conditions to ensure continuity of supply, to minimise impacts wherever possible, and to review the amount and application of the Production and Transport Surcharge.

While it is impossible to predict further changes that may be required, our priority is to provide transparent, timely information to our customers as it comes to hand, to support your planning and forward works. Individual letters have been sent to our customers.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has driven significant volatility and upward pressure in global energy and commodity markets.

These changes in the external environment are having an impact across Boral’s operations and broader supply chain.

Unfortunately, the rapid increases on input costs across the supply chain are of a nature and scale that we cannot continue to absorb. As a result, like others within the construction materials sector, we need to introduce a necessary Production and Transport Surcharge in our service fee schedule to reflect these increased costs.

The situation in the Middle East and its flow-on cost implications are rapidly evolving.  We are closely monitoring global and domestic market conditions to ensure continuity of supply, to minimise impacts wherever possible, and to review the amount and application of the Production and Transport Surcharge.

While it is impossible to predict further changes that may be required, our priority is to provide transparent, timely information to our customers as it comes to hand, to support your planning and forward works. Individual letters have been sent to our customers.
