The December edition of Quarry is out now with an extensive edition including a terrific case study between Kayasand and Heidelberg Materials Australia.
And just like that, we’ve reached the end of another busy year. As we close the books on 2025, now is the perfect time to reflect on what you have achieved this year, and what you hope to do in 2026.
Over the past 12 months, safety has been in the spotlight, with several IQA Safety and Health Conferences taking place across the country. They’ve offered the industry a chance to speak with experts in the field and continue important conversations back on site.
It has also been a year of technological growth and innovation. Original equipment manufacturers have been embracing new digital developments to improve productivity. Whether that’s through the use of drone surveying, artificial intelligence, or smarter machinery, the future is looking bright for quarrying equipment.
The IQA has also jumped on board this digital transformation, launching a new website and mobile app to help connect the sector. Its new platforms make it easier than ever for members to stay connected with each other, networking and supporting each other’s development.
Next year is shaping up to be even busier than 2025, especially with the 2026 IQA National Conference. The event will take place from 6 to 8 October on the Gold Coast, and will offer attendees more than 50 presentations, 100 exhibitors, local site visits and the IQA National Awards. It’s one event you will not want to miss.
Next month’s Quarry Magazine will be the annual Industry Leaders edition, where key decision makers from across the sector reflect on the year that has come and gone. It will feature interviews, articles, and case studies that highlight what matters to the sector, and what is on the horizon.
