Hopkins Stone is a family owned and run business set on 80 hectares of farm grazing land. The land was purchased in 2018 with the objective of expanding our beef herd and allowing a storage site for our local earthmoving business. With the increasing need for bluestone material locally, we started the application for the proposed quarry operations – with only 15 hectares to be impacted by the quarry at any one time.
As many major road and rail projects are underway in Victoria, there is an increasing need for quarry products. Hopkins Stone’s high-quality products will include Class 2 and 3 road building material, an aggregate for road sealing and concreting, and crushed bluestone gravel for local farm tracks.
