Notably the accelerated government spending ahead of the 2032 Olympics held in Brisbane, right in our backyard.
It’s not all deep pockets and free-flowing cheque books; this increased market demand has come with some significant roadblocks, namely the extractive licences on the Eastern Seaboard.
Whilst we and our quarries are happy to be holding the Olympics, and the government has fronted A$116.8B in funding for infrastructure projects that will directly contribute to a massive influx in production for our clients, our constituents don’t like to allow these quarries to extract the rock.
These new adaptations of old products feed into an adjusted mindset of our sales team.
The team is focused on identifying pain points of our clients and solving them; it’s no longer good enough for us to call on a plant with a product brochure and show the customer everything - they simply don’t have the time. A small win, like patching a hole in a chute with a WS2.10 sample, proves we are listening.

The strategic landscape in Southeast Queensland is being reshaped by global players who view the region as a primary engine for growth.
Heidelberg Materials has pivoted to a ‘Pure-Play’ strategy, divesting from non-core global assets to build an estimated A$3.5 billion ‘War Chest’ for reinvestment into high-growth corridors like Australia.
Their recent A$1.7 billion acquisition of the MAAS Group encompassing 40 quarries and 22 concrete plants, signals a massive bet on the infrastructure pipeline leading to the 2032 Olympics and beyond. For the industry, Heidelberg has now become the largest construction materials supplier in Australia.
Highlighting a global focus on the Australian infrastructure market.
Multotec continues to position itself as a high value-addition, solutions-based supplier that focuses on optimising plant up-time, debottlenecking process and predictive maintenance systems.
