Mawsons Concrete & Quarries and Ararat Rural City Council are delivering wins for regional Victoria. One shows strong environmental practice. The other shows smart infrastructure planning. Together they make our local earthmoving sector more resilient.

Mawsons: leading with better quarry rehab

Mawsons recently won a Resources Victoria award for progressive rehabilitation. That means they restore land as they quarry – they don’t just dig and leave. They plan soil care, erosion control, and revegetation from day one. This reduces long-term risk for farms and local roads. It also gives contractors steady, compliant work in site prep and revegetation. Because Mawsons plan ahead, their projects move faster and cleaner. That helps everyone — councils, builders, and local operators.

Ararat: building bridges that last

Low concrete Buangor–Ben Nevis road bridge with exposed piers, debris and eroded banks — the existing structure due for replacement.

Ararat Rural City Council is building a new double-span bridge at Buangor-Ben Nevis Road. The design will stand for decades and carry heavy freight safely. That matters for haul roads and heavy plant movement. Also, the bridge improves flood resilience. For contractors, better bridges mean fewer detours and less wear on machines. For communities, it means safer transport and more reliable supply chains.

Why this matters to our clients

First, good quarry rehab gives reliable, local material. That cuts haul distances and carbon. Second, strong bridges and roads keep equipment running and reduce downtime. Third, both outcomes support long projects, like mine site work and big civil jobs.
