“ “ “
The construction materials industry is fundamental to the growth and prosperity of the nation. Concrete, asphalt, crushed rock, sand and clay play their part in infrastructure and building development, requiring environmentally sustainable resource management, high tech operational expertise, innovation, employee participation and community engagement. Quarry is an irreplaceable magazine that highlights topics associated with quarrying which, although an important sector of the extractive industry, faces unique challenges of long-term viability and community expectations through bias and frequently misinformed media reporting. Quarry offers industry the opportunity to openly communicate its relevance to the economic health of both the community and Australia.”
Mike Cameron, Executive, Business & Leadership Coach, Strategically Yours
Quarry magazine has the news about industry innovations and the latest plant and equipment technology. It’s our “go-to” for stories on development applications, approvals and legislative change in Australia and New Zealand. The magazine’s reporting on industry achievements and awards keeps us up to date on who’s leading across categories of achievement. The challenges we share and the successes of which we can be proud can be found in Quarry’s pages.”
Michelle Connelly, VAXA Group
Quarry magazine is a useful resource of up to date and varied information. The magazine has many articles to keep us up to date in our broad ranging and often complex industry. With articles about safety, people, plant, blasting, environment, geology etc, the magazine is always of interest. The IQA news is always good to keep up with industry training and events. I like the articles about the IQA members very much. It gives the opportunity for those in the field to showcase their endeavours at their sites and gives the opportunity for all to benefit from the learning.”
Alasdair Webb, Dubbo Quarry, Holcim Australia

INSTITUTE OF QUARRYING AUSTRALIA
Quarry is the official publication of the Institute of Quarrying Australia (IQA), and produced under licence. With learning being a continuously evolving practice, the IQA provides education and information to all levels of the quarrying industry’s workforce to promote safe work practices and further develop career growth. IQA seminars are offered online and face to face, with both formats providing an equal opportunity to broaden the scope of a person’s professional development. The IQA also provides opportunities for quarrying professionals to network and socialise via conferences and branch meetings, and to volunteer within the organisation, which in turn promotes professional growth and development.

A SURVEY OF QUARRY READERS FOUND THAT CASE STUDIES AND INFORMATION FROM TRADE MAGAZINES WERE AMONG THE MOST INFLUENTIAL AND TRUSTED SOURCES OF INFORMATION THAT INFLUENCED BUYING DECISIONS.”
IQA members and other Australian and overseas quarrying consumers receive the Directory as part of their annual Quarry subscriptions. For non-subscribers (including wholesale quarry suppliers to the industry), the Directory can be ordered as a one-off or as part of an annual subscription to Quarry within Australia or overseas.
Although wholesale quarry suppliers can lodge some basic text listings in the Directory free of charge, they are encouraged first and foremost to stand out from their competition by promoting their products and services via a series of classified listings (AKA as framed listings) and/or one-third-, half-, full- or double-page advertisements that carry corporate logos and artwork.
Basic text and framed listings are replicated at quarrymagazine.com and prospective advertisers may also wish to support their listings online with web leaderboards/banners, MRECs or webskins.
For advertising opportunities in the Directory, contact the Quarry Business Development Manager.
A COMPREHENSIVE DIRECTORY WITH 12 MONTH EXPOSURE
The Suppliers Directory – a comprehensive directory of Australian quarry suppliers – has been a mainstay of the Quarry magazine stable for more than two decades. It is the only publication in Australia dedicated to providing comprehensive information about products, plant and equipment, and services to the Australian quarrying and extractive industries.
In recent years, the Directory has featured more than 130 categories and over 1000 brands from more than 500 suppliers.
From air separators to aerial surveyors, crushers to classifiers, haul trucks to hydraulic attachments, magnets to modular plant, stackers to surveying equipment, transmissions to trommels, and valves to vibratory equipment, the Suppliers Directory has it all covered.
