This development application combines two strategic infrastructure projects that will help the Gold Coast manage growth responsibly. It secures essential construction resources and strengthens the city’s waste management capacity, delivering solutions that are safe, practical, and environmentally sound.
Through this development application, Boral is offering an innovative solution to build capacity and capability for the Gold Coast to deal with this growth challenge through:
- Unlocking the State’s Key Resource Area 96 as part of the Reedy Creek Key Resource Area Project (RCKRA Project) to:
- maintain a continued supply of local quarry materials of up to 1.2million tonnes annually in the southern Gold Coast area to meet the projected demand from the building and construction industry;
- reduce the impact of additional 31,000 truck movements on the M1; and
- reduce additional transport costs and maintain a competitive market, which has a nexus to housing delivery and affordability.

- Providing critical waste infrastructure as part of the West Burleigh Construction and Waste Resource Recovery Project (WBCWRR Project) to:
- rehabilitate the existing void at West Burleigh Quarry through the disposal of residual non-putrescible construction waste to create a safe and stable landform in a timely manner;
- reducing reliance on the City’s diminishing putrescible landfill airspace (non-private and private);
- avoid the need to transport it elsewhere at significant congestion or environmental costs; and
- positively contribute to the Local and State Government’s waste management strategies.
