Our Stories

The Navigators Community Multi-Purpose Hub is a shining example of what can be achieved when communities and organisations come together with a shared vision. Located in the charming town of Navigators, just 10 kilometres southeast of Ballarat, and bordering on Boral's Dunnstown Quarry, this new hub is set to become the heart of the community, providing a modern, flexible, and accessible space for a wide range of activities and events.

The journey to the opening of the Navigators Community Hub was a collaborative effort involving multiple organisations and the Navigators Asset Committee. Boral, along with Bendigo Bank, Moorabool Shire Council, and the State Government, played a crucial role in funding this project. 

Last week our Boral Dunmore Team (Brodie Bolton, Karyn Harmston and Ionut Ciobanu Oprea) along with local MP Gareth Ward, Member for Kiama, presented the lovely ladies at the Albion Park Community Garden with a $500 donation. Sharon O'Rouke was delighted to accept and said the money will be put to good use purchasing gardening tools and building more garden beds.

Boral have a proud history of supporting service men and women. Our connection to the defence community goes back to the end of World War II when we welcomed returning Navy personnel to jobs at our bitumen plant in Matraville, Sydney. This tradition of support continues today, as we acknowledge the sacrifices of all Boral colleagues past and present who have served in the armed forces.

We recently had the pleasure of hosting the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors at our Boral Materials Technical Services Laboratory in Sydney. It was an insightful visit where we showcased our state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge research and development capabilities.

As ANZAC Day approaches, we sat down with Boral driver Michael Anderson to hear his story. It is a journey shaped by service, safety, and over four decades on the road.

As part of the ConnectSydney joint venture between Boral, Service Stream, and Johnson Controls, we’re leading a multi-stage restoration project to ensure the iconic Galston Timber Bridge remains part of the community for generations to come. The works focus on strengthening the 130 year-old structure while respecting its historical significance and natural environment.

Each year, our Berrima Cement Works site undergoes an intensive annual shutdown. A critical operation that ensures the plant runs efficiently, safely, and reliably for the year ahead. This complex event involves months of planning, precise execution, and the combined efforts of hundreds of people from diverse teams at Berrima and across the business.
