The Brisbane City Council has no intention of closing its century-old Mt Coot-tha Quarry within five years, despite pressure from the Queensland Greens Party.

The quarry has been operated by the Brisbane City Council (BCC) since 1926 and is considered an important strategic asset for Brisbane, supplying localised, cost-effective, high quality asphalt aggregate for roads and infrastructure.

The site has Key Resource Area designation and is protected by the State Government as a significant state resource. More than 96 per cent of roads in Brisbane are built with asphalt aggregates from the quarry. It sits on approximately 26ha and produces about 400,000 tonnes each year
