Quarries Build Communities – TV ad
The CMPA is currently running a 30 second TV ad in regional Victoria to give extra exposure to the “Quarries Build Communities” video released at the 2022 Annual Dinner in Wangaratta. The package is now complete following the development of the poster and brochure at the 2019 Annual Dinner in Marysville. These are to complement and support the CMPA’s Rules: its “purposes” include to “demonstrate a commitment to the community in which it exists.” The “Quarries Build Communities” poster, brochure, video and TV ad provide a simple explanation of quarrying encompassing the need for quarries and their role in the economy as well as addressing issues of concern to the community such as protection of the environment and Aboriginal heritage. Information is also given on use of recycled construction material and examples of rehabilitated quarries.
