MRP Sand Quarry has become a trusted sand supplier in South East Queensland for big and small projects in the region.
in the heart of South East Queensland lies a local operation that has been quietly powering some of the region’s largest construction projects.
MRP Sand Quarry, a proudly family-owned and operated company, offers high-quality sand products designed to meet the diverse needs of builders, developers, landscapers, and civil contractors across the region.
With a strong reputation for reliability, consistency, and excellent service, MRP Sand Quarry has become one of the go-to sources for clean, competitively priced sand across South East Queensland.
“I’d always wanted to own some type of quarry, whether that was hard rock or something else, and we looked at all sorts of things,” MRP Sand Quarry owner Steven Murphy told Quarry.
“It had always interested me; it was just a matter of finding something close to home and a good resource, and we found that with this site.
“Now the material has been proven, the resource has been proven over a number of years, and we’ve done some decent jobs that have shown people we can produce consistently. The business is going well.”
Trusted product
MRP Sand Quarry has developed a range of sand products that customers have commended for their quality and consistency.
“MRP has been a game changer for us. The quality of the product is top-tier, and they’re always on time,” one Queensland-based construction company said.
“We know we can rely on them no matter the size of the job.”
MRP Sand Quarry has also supplied materials for private projects, including horse arenas and residential projects in the local area, as well as for larger projects, including full-scale wind farm projects with thermal sand and concrete sand. The quarry produces a range of washed, screened, and specialty sand products:
Fine washed sand: ideally suited for rendering, block work, and tiling applications
Medium coarse sand: ideally suited for concrete batching, pipe bedding, and general construction purposes
Thermal sand: specially processed for use in electrical trenching and in thermal insulation around power cables
Dried sands: precisely graded and kiln-dried for use in industrial applications, synthetic turf, paving joints, and decorative finishes.
• Filter sand and specialty blends: engineered for specific industrial, drainage, or landscaping uses.
All products are thoroughly tested to ensure compliance with Australian standards, giving contractors peace of mind and outstanding results.
DEDICATED LOCAL SERVICE
MRP Sand Quarry combines the best of both worlds as a construction materials producer: a local business’s agility and customer-first approach with the operational scale to meet large commercial demands.
Whether it is a single truckload or a bulk supply for a major development, the team ensures timely delivery and hassle-free logistics for customers across South East Queensland.
“We have become known within the industry because we’ve shown that we can supply our materials consistently, and the quality is at a high-level as well,” Murphy said.
“We can also make decisions on the spot, which gives us some advantages when working with customers to supply projects. We’re able to supply good, natural quartz sand reliably and within the deadlines the customer requires.
“The material is consistent in quality, which means we are able to give the customer peace of mind that they are using a high-quality product in their projects.
“The washed and thermal sand have been incredibly consistent, which is important because some of the grading curves must be within two per cent.”
COMMUNITY FOCUSED
Sustainability is a cornerstone of the MRP mission. The quarry operates with minimal environmental impact, following best practice in land rehabilitation, water management, and energy-efficient processing.
Murphy said the company was proud of its reputation for being a dependable supplier of sand products.
“We specialise in providing a dependable supply of premium-grade sand, which is supported by genuine customer service,” he said. “We can work with customers to understand the requirements of their project and tailor our approach to ensure they receive the materials they need on time.”•
