Dimension Stone Group Australia | Natural Stone Supplier for medium to large scale commercial projects, Australia-wide.

In the mid-1990s the stone was used in the construction of prestigious buildings in Sydney City such as Governor Phillip Tower, Governor Macquarie Tower, First Government House Museum, and buildings at Darling Harbour and was used for all external paving at Martin Place.

Later, the stone was one of three dimension stones specified by the Sydney City Council for use in upgrading public areas prior to the Olympic Games in 2000. For this purpose Verde Austral was used extensively as curb stones and paving slabs in main streets and public places in central Sydney. Other paving projects included the Channel 10 Building, Townhall House and the Ritz Cinema, all in Sydney. Rockhampton Courthouse in Queensland.

City of Perth Kerbing stone:

In December 2012, Absolute Stone were awarded the 3 year (with a 2 year option) kerbing contract for the City of Perth. We commenced partnering 3 years ago with the owners of the Bridgetown Black Granite quarry. Absolute Stone hold an exclusive distribution agreement for the supply of this material in W.A.

The owners have invested in Plant & Equipment to enable full kerbing processing at site.

Absolute Stone also has capacity to process some straight kerbing at our Osborne Park factory.

However, volumes and timeframes required for the Elizabeth Quays Project will mean much of the local materials required will have to be processed offshore.

 

Interstate:

Absolute Stone’s subsidiary company, DSGA, continues to supply quarried blocks of Verde Austral to Melocco Pty Ltd for processing and supply of finished kerbing material for the City of Sydney. This is currently part of a four year ongoing supply contract.

DSGA has produced in excess of 2,000m3 of process quarried block in the past 24 months.
