About Batesford Quarry
Batesford Quarry operates out of the Batesford limestone quarry, just to the west of Geelong and is the only supplier of Aglime in Geelong
Our history
Batesford Quarry has a rich history, having operated for over 100 years to supply limestone to the Geelong Cement manufacturing works in nearby Fyansford. During this time, over 100 million tonnes of limestone and overburden were excavated from the site. In 2001, the cement works closed, marking a turning point for the quarry’s operations.
Following the closure, both Adelaide Brighton Ltd, the operator of the cement works and Work Authority holder, and the McCann family companies, owners of the land, worked to develop new markets for value-added products. Their efforts included using the remaining limestone resources and the fine sand layer that underlies the limestone. Recognising the benefits of collaboration, both parties formed Batesford Quarry as a joint operation, combining their expertise to create innovative products and expand into new markets.
Today, Batesford Quarry is a thriving business and our lime products are supplied to customers across Victoria and as far north as the Murrumbidgee in New South Wales.
Supporting agriculture and civil construction
Our premium lime products are helping farmers achieve healthier soils, improve crop yields, boost fertiliser efficiency, and increase the profitability of their farms. From crops and pastures to viticulture and even truffle farming, our lime is used in a wide range of agricultural applications, including treating highly acidic soils.
In addition, our clean and versatile sand products are widely used in civil construction, turf applications, equine surfaces, sporting arenas, and residential projects. These products meet strict quality standards and are backed by ISO 9001 certification, ensuring that every delivery meets your expectations. Test results are also available upon request.
A commitment to quality and sustainability
At Batesford Quarry, we prioritise quality, safety, and sustainability in every aspect of our operations. By providing fully tested lime and sand products, we help our customers achieve the best results for their projects, whether on the farm, at a construction site, or in residential landscaping.
With decades of resources still available, Batesford Quarry is proud to remain a key supplier of limestone and sand in Geelong and beyond.
