Gosford Quarries’ Sandstone
Environmentally Sustainable Sandstone
The Environmental Benefits of Local Sandstone
Contrary to popular belief, locally quarried natural sandstone is about as green as building materials get.
As a building material, sandstone has one of the lowest carbon footprints compared to other popular building materials. It’s extracted from the ground and requires only a fraction of the embodied energy compared to producing ‘manufactured stone’ such as concrete and bricks.

Chemical-Free Processing and Recycling
We ensure no chemicals are used in sandstone production or processing, resulting in minimal chemical waste. All water used in production is recycled, enhancing our sustainability efforts. Natural stone’s recyclability is unparalleled, with nearly 100% of old projects and scrap stone recycled for new uses.
Reduced Environmental Impact
Our Quarries within 100 kilometres of the Sydney CBD significantly reduce transportation carbon emissions. Modern quarrying methods, such as ours, minimise noise, dust, and vibration compared to traditional rock excavation.
Regulatory Compliance and Quarry Reclamation
All our quarrying activities adhere to stringent environmental and OH&S guidelines under state EPA controls. This includes provisions for progressive reclamation of quarries or restoration at closure, ensuring we leave minimal ecological footprints.
Heritage Conservation and Commercial Viability
Gosford Quarries is at the forefront of salvage quarrying, enhanced by powerful machinery and advanced extraction techniques. This approach supports environmental sustainability and contributes to preserving Sydney’s heritage buildings, like the ongoing restoration of Sydney Town Hall.

Australian Sandstone:
100% Recycable and Sustainable
The Green Credentials of Locally Quarried Natural Sandstone
Contrary to popular belief, locally quarried natural sandstone is one of the most environmentally friendly building materials available. As a building material, sandstone has one of the lowest carbon footprints compared to other popular options. It is extracted from the ground and requires only a fraction of the embodied energy needed to produce ‘manufactured stone’ such as concrete and bricks. Another fantastic benefit of choosing Australian sandstone is that no chemicals are used in its production or processing, resulting in almost zero chemical waste. Due to the nature of the stone, all of the water used in production is recycled and reused.
Environmental Sustainability and Local Impact
Possibly one of the most environmentally sustainable features of Gosford Quarries’ sandstone is the proximity of the product to our primary target market. Our quarries are all located within 100 kilometres of the Sydney CBD, reducing our carbon footprint through transportation. Although quarrying is a noisy process, it is less so than traditional rock excavation, where the bedrock is hammered into piles of rubble. Dust and vibration are also reduced in comparison.
A Smaller Environmental Footprint
Sandstone quarries leave a much smaller environmental footprint than mineral and aggregate quarries. Because dimension stone is a specialised business, quarries are typically smaller in size and are not as volume-dependent. Over the past 15 years, significant changes have occurred in the dimension stone quarry industry. Stringent conditions apply to most extractive licences regarding environmental and OH&S issues, and these quarries fall under state EPA guidelines regarding airborne and water-based discharges. All extractive licences for dimension stone quarries also carry provisions relating to reclamation, either on a progressive basis or at closure.
The Unparalleled Recyclability of Natural Stone
The recyclability of natural stone is unparalleled. Nearly 100 per cent of stone from old projects and scrap stone are recycled, either in quarry reclamation or as fill material for new building projects. In many cases, stone excavated from a building site is processed and used on the same site for landscaping, cladding, and various other applications.
Council Initiatives and the Role of Gosford Quarries
In recent years, councils including Sydney City Council have introduced conditions surrounding Development Approvals to recycle sandstone from large sites with substantial excavations for basements. This policy is aimed at recycling and environmental sustainability, assisting the ongoing supply of high-quality sandstones for the conservation of Sydney’s significant heritage buildings. The current commercial viability of salvage-quarrying is bolstered by the availability of powerful machinery and improved extraction techniques provided by Gosford Quarries. These extractions have significantly contributed to delivering successful outcomes in a wide range of heritage conservation and new-build projects, including the ongoing conservation of Sydney Town Hall, a building of National heritage significance currently being restored by Gosford Quarries.
