Concrete manufacturer Boral Limited has announced the acquisition of Wallan Concrete plant, located about 45km north of Melbourne.
Boral says the addition of the plan expands its ability to service customers in regional Victoria. Current employees at the plant will transfer to Boral.
Boral executive general manager, concrete & quarries south Matt McKenzie says the acquisition bolsters Boral’s footprint in Melbourne’s outer North growth corridor and would complement the existing concrete batching plant and quarry at Wollert.

“We know the long-term growth projection in Melbourne, particularly to the north is strong, and Wallan Concrete’s proximity to the market, adjacent to the Hume Freeway, makes it well-positioned to service existing and future customers,” McKenzie says.
“The plant is practically brand new and we’re very excited to have this great asset now part of our integrated operations and its potential to supply key projects in the Melbourne North region.
“What is also important is that we are today welcoming new employees to the Boral team.”
The Wallan Concrete site, which operates six days a week, is freehold land, has a dry batch concrete plant, four cementitious silos, 10 raw material ground bins, a modern office with driver facilities and undercover truck parking.
