The Kinder team was proud to be part of the recent Women in Quarrying Lunch and Site Tour hosted by the Institute of Quarrying Australia (IQA) VIC Branch on Friday 27 June 2025.
As a VIC Major Sponsor for the IQA, we are passionate about supporting initiatives that promote diversity, professional development and innovation across the quarrying and bulk materials handling industries.
The event included a tour of Hi-Quality Quarry Sunbury Eco-hub, one of Victoria’s leading waste management facilities. It was a great opportunity to see circular economy activities in action and learn how the site transforms waste materials into valuable resources, reduces environmental impact and promotes sustainability within the sector.
Following the tour, attendees enjoyed a networking lunch at Novotel Melbourne Airport, where a keynote speaker and panel discussion provided insights from experienced professionals working within the quarrying industry.
We thank the IQA for hosting such a well-organised and engaging event, and we look forward to continuing to support opportunities that encourage growth, connection and recognition for women in the quarrying industry.
