About
Boral's Seaham Quarry, in the locality of Balickera to the east of Seaham township, is the organisation's main source of hard rock for aggregate production serving the Hunter and Port Stephens regions of NSW.
Boral's Seaham Quarry is located amongst bushland and rural residential properties in the Port Stephens region of NSW. It is sited within the locality of Balickera but named for the township of Seaham, some 5.5 kilometres to the west of the operations.
The main population centres of Raymond Terrace (10 kilometres) and Newcastle (central business district - 28 kilometres) lie to the south.
Quarrying began at the site in 1991 after planning approval was achieved in 1985. Extractive activities take place within a rich seam of ignimbrite, an igneous hard rock which possesses high qualities of strength and endurance.
