Rare Opportunity To Buy Quarry For Sale QLD South East

Former Quarry For Sale QLD South East

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a former basalt quarry and rural offset area located near the Inland Rail and other projects being driven by south-east Queensland’s burgeoning population growth.

'Lockyer Quarry' has estimated reserves of 10 million tonnes of olivine basalt suited for rail ballast, road base or concrete aggregates

Offered for sale either together or as individual lots, the holdings include the approximately 74.4-hectare ‘Lockyer Quarry’, located at Mt Whitestone, some 20 minutes south-east of Gatton; and the 42.34-hectare ‘Green Space’ site about 25 minutes south-east of Gatton at Mt Berryman.

‘Lockyer Quarry’ previously had development approval (DA) for hard rock extraction. Its reserves of olivine basalt, estimated at 10 million tonnes, are ideally suited for rail ballast, road base or concrete aggregates (subject to assessment) – all in high demand in the state’s booming south-east region.

'Lockyer Quarry' is located smack bang in the middle of the booming south-east region of Queensland

Importantly, the quarry for sale QLD – at Lot 97, Dry Gully Road, Mt Whitestone – is conveniently located approximately 111 kilometres from Brisbane and approximately 56 kilometres from Toowoomba with connectivity via the Warrego Highway.

While the quarry DA has since lapsed, listing agent Craig Bradley of Ray White Commercial Toowoomba says it presents a unique opportunity to develop a hard rock quarry with an existing rural offset area already secured.

The 42.34ha site at Mt Berryman could be used as a 'rural offset' for the quarry or turned to other agricultural enterprises

With the Mt Berryman property zoned ‘mixed rural’, there’s also the possibility of turning the land holding to forestry or other agricultural activities, he adds.

Situated at 53 Mt Berryman Road, Mt Berryman, the property also includes an existing dwelling that’s currently vacant.

Judging by the high level of enquiries Bradley has fielded in the first few days of the marketing campaign, potential buyers of this quarry for sale QLD are clearly attracted by the numerous possibilities for the sites.

Located around 25 minutes south-east of Gatton, the Mt Berryman property features a vacant dwelling
