Currently cutting the top bench
Currently cutting the top bench
We are currently at the stage of cutting the top bench. It is the highest and most exposed part of the quarry, so it is the work you are most likely to see and hear from the road and from surrounding properties.
We are wet cutting. Spray bars run on the machines while cutting, the water cart works the haul roads, and the dust cannon runs across the working area. The cannon throws a fine water mist. From a distance that mist drifts in the wind and is visible as a pale plume, which can look like dust — the mist itself is water.

Wheel wash upgrade
Wheel wash upgrade
We upgraded our wheel wash to include a wheel bath for the trucks leaving the site pass through it before they reach Kerns Road. This significantly removes all mud and dust from trucks exiting the quarry.

Winmalee Quarry, 66a Single Ridge Road. Our Winmalee quarry does not hold an environment protection licence, so the documents on this page — which are published because of Licence 2807 — do not apply to that site.
Where a quarry is not licensed by the EPA, the local council is the appropriate regulatory authority for pollution matters. For Winmalee that is Blue Mountains City Council. You are welcome to raise anything with us first on the numbers above, and to report pollution to the EPA's Environment Line on 131 555 at any time.
