GALLI QUARRIES

MARK GALLI, Managing Director of Galli Quarries reflects on the growth of the business.

Galli Quarries is situated on Sunday Creek Road Kilmore east approximately 60 km North of Melbourne CBD in close proximity to the Hume Freeway, whilst their administration office is at University Hill in Bundoora.

Galli Quarries was established in 1997 by Lorenzo and Michael Galli, after successfully building and owning a number of quarries throughout Victoria. The Galli Group of Companies has been involved in quarrying, earthworks, civil and residential construction and concrete and asphalt manufacture since 1954.

The Galli’s were involved in many major Victorian road building projects in the 60’s and 70’s including the Wallan to Broadford section of the Hume Freeway.

The Galli Group owned and operated quarries in the Wollert and Kilmore areas as well as numerous concrete plants in the 60’s and 70’s under the Apex banner. Apex Quarries was taken over by Pioneer Quarries (now Hanson) in 1978.

Quarrying remained a passion for the Gallis, and it was not long before an opportunity to continue their previous success arose in Kilmore. The Galli brothers applied for a quarry licence at the current Kilmore East location in June 1983. After a long period of consultation with the local residents and authorities, a license was granted in 1993.

Although Lorenzo and Michael have passed away, their legacy continues in Galli Quarries. The quarry is owned and operated by the Galli family, which is committed to continuing the high standards of service and quality of material expected by the most discerning customers.

Galli Quarries supplies quality aggregate to many prominent concrete and asphalt suppliers, as well as crushed rock products and sealing aggregates for road and underground services. Galli Quarries aggregate is noted for its high strength and high quality, which is why it features in many high strength projects such as Melbourne and Avalon Airport, the MCG and Eureka Tower.

Galli Quarries has been a CMPA member since 2001 and continues to support their efforts to represent the extractive industry.
