Hunter Quarries

05/06/2026

Two brand new Komatsu HD605 dump trucks have just joined the Hunter Quarries fleet at Karuah - and they're already hard at work.
These machines carry up to 64 tonnes per load and are built with operator safety front of mind - hill start assist, auto re**rd speed control, full LED lighting, and a waiting brake system that automatically engages when the truck is parked.
Investing in new equipment means safer conditions for our people and better reliability for our customers. That's the standard we hold ourselves to.
🚛🚛 Two new trucks. Same commitment to getting the job done right.

Congratulations to Luke Montford on completing his Certificate III in Engineering - Fabrication Trade. 🎉

Luke has been a valued member of the Hunter Quarries team throughout his apprenticeship, and it's been great to watch him develop into a skilled and dependable tradesman. His commitment to safety, quality workmanship, and being a strong team player hasn't gone unnoticed - and it's no surprise to anyone who's worked alongside him.

Coming from a well-known local family with strong ties to the industry, Luke has always understood what it takes to get the job done right. Now a fully qualified tradesman, he continues to bring that same professionalism to everything he works on - whether it's maintenance, fabrication, or keeping operations running safely and efficiently.

We're proud to have Luke on the team and look forward to seeing what's ahead for him. Well done, mate. 👏

Fresh from local builder Allquip Water Trucks, our new 14,000L water cart is helping us keep things clean, safe and comfortable at the quarry. 💦

It’s all part of our ongoing effort to run a modern quarry — using up-to-date equipment that supports:
✅ Dust suppression for us and our neighbours
✅ Better air quality across the site
✅ Safer, more comfortable conditions for our team

A great example of investing locally to keep our operations modern, sustainable and efficient. 👏

Supplying strength for the M1 — 95,000 tonnes of MB20 delivered with zero non-conformances.

Hunter Quarries recently completed the supply of MB20 (Modified Granular Base) for John Holland’s M1 Motorway upgrade project — a total of 95,000 tonnes produced and delivered to TfNSW R73 specification.

Throughout the entire supply period, not a single Non-Conformance Report (NCR) or Quality Improvement Process (QIP) was raised. This result is a testament to the skill and consistency of our Production and Quality teams.

From rigorous material testing to stockpile control and delivery coordination — every tonne was backed by process, precision, and pride.

We’re proud to share that Hunter Quarries has passed our ISO compliance audit with no corrective actions — and ranked in the top 5% of more than 400 businesses assessed.

Highlights from the audit:

Safety: Described as an absolute strength, with Tier 1 processes applied to Tier 2 sites and strong SWMS, consultation, and change management.

Environment: Auditors noted our team’s depth of knowledge, with only minor items flagged.

Quality: Rated as business as usual — a reflection of consistent, reliable delivery.

A huge thank you to Janelle for leading the process, and to Tom, Mia and Scott for their cross-department contributions.

A great outcome — and a reflection of the high standards we hold across every part of the business.
