Innovation is a key focus of both the quarrying industry and the Helping Victoria Grow: Extractive Resources Strategy. Our work includes promoting what can be achieved after quarrying ends. Progressive rehabilitation and innovative planning can deliver assets which benefit the community for generations to come.

The New Lives of Old Quarries tells the stories of quarry land that has been repurposed for uses that benefit our community. You can download The New Lives of Old Quarries below:
