Our Stories

Since 2018, Boral have proudly supported RSE and their Ryda road safety program, which has reached over 735,000 young Australians. This program equips students with the tools, habits, and behaviours needed to stay safe on the roads, both as drivers and passengers. Our involvement includes providing insights into the challenges faced by heavy vehicle drivers and offering real-life experiences with our trucks and drivers.

We caught up with Kelli Bodey our Quarry Manager at Booyal to ask about how the last twelve months have been transitioning from a privately owned quarry into Boral. Kelli said she had spoken with her team that morning about just that and the resounding response was challenging but with a lot of positives as well.

Scott Murphy and his team of 12 full time staff supply around half their sales within the Ipswich and Scenic Rim Council regions with the rest of their products going into the Brisbane metro market. The Quarry has supplied construction materials for major projects including the Amberley Airbase Runway, subdivision and construction projects at Ripley Valley, Springfield, Redbank Plains and Yamanto.

The Deer Park Quarry team in Victoria helped fund accommodation costs for the 2025 VACSAL (Victorian Aboriginal Community Services Association), Basketball Classic Tournament in Mildura.  

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.
