Boral has put forward a proposal to tackle two challenging Gold Coast City-building issues - a looming shortage of construction materials for Gold Coast roads, buildings and infrastructure projects, and landfill constraints. 

Boral has successfully secured $24.5 million in Federal Government funding for a new cement kiln infrastructure project, which will enable the leading construction materials company to significantly reduce its CO2 emissions arising from cement manufacturing by up to 100,000 tonnes per annum, based on predicted production rates.

Boral has launched an Australian-first proprietary crumbed rubber asphalt bitumen that replaces common crumbed rubber with that from Off the Road (OTR) tyres – those used for heavy-duty industrial vehicles. The alternative asphalt mix has a higher cracking resistance and extends the life of pavements by up to two times that of conventional road treatment.

Today Boral announced the completed acquisition of Sand Supplies Pty Ltd (Sand Supplies), which includes two sand quarries in Victoria, about 100km south-east of Melbourne. 

The strategic acquisition of the sites at Glen Forbes and Grantville will provide security of sand supply to Boral and its customers and Boral’s integrated downstream operations. It also sees the continued employment of Sand Supplies’ skilled workers as they transfer to Boral.  

Boral has trialled a new recycled sand for concrete using crushed glass from end-of-life and damaged solar panels. Currently undergoing trials, it has been specifically created for Victoria’s North East Link project, the biggest-ever infrastructure investment in Melbourne’s north-east which will construct 6.5 kilometres of tunnels. 

We have been made aware of a fraudulent website impersonating Boral to conduct an online investment scam.

The fraudulent site falsely claims to offer high-return investment opportunities, using a web domain (URL) that impersonates the Boral domain.

Boral been tapped as the major construction materials supplier for Black Rock Motor Resort, Australia’s first multi-million-dollar driving circuit and luxury resort at NSW’s Lake Macquarie, near Newcastle. 

Our upgraded carbon-reducing technology at the Berrima Cement Works was officially opened by Federal Minister for Climate Change and Energy, the Hon Chris Bowen MP.

Boral awarded the Boral Police Award to Senior Constable Alison Stewart of Maitland Police for her dedication to road safety education and instrumental work in facilitating school, police officer and road safety expert participation throughout the Hunter region.
