When it comes to getting raw materials into Australia by sea, Eliza O'Day is right at the helm. From ports to paperwork, she manages the complex and often unpredictable process of importing the dry bulk materials Boral needs to keep moving.
Boral proudly produces raw materials here in Australia, including clinker from our Berrima kiln using limestone from Marulan. But to meet national demand, we also import around 1.2 million tonnes of materials each year, including clinker, slag and gypsum. Eliza manages these shipments into two key ports.
There’s our new, purpose-built Cement plant at the Port of Geelong, and Fisherman’s Island at the Port of Brisbane, which supports our Sunstate Cement joint venture with Adbri in Queensland. Our Geelong facility ensures a steady supply to southern states. And our deliveries into Brisbane keeps Sunstate stocked and ready to go.
