Stevenson Quarries
Quarries are essential to every region and community’s economic prosperity, development and wellbeing. Major new infrastructure projects in and around the Auckland and Waikato regions have increased the demand for a reliable supply of quality aggregate. Our Drury Quarry is a key strategic asset in the Auckland economy due to the long-term aggregate shortage in the Auckland region. We own and operate three quarries located at Drury, Huntly and Kaiaua.
Drury Quarry
(30km south of Auckland CBD)
The quarry was purchased by the Stevenson family in 1939 and since then it has produced over 35 million tonnes of aggregates.
- One of the biggest producers of aggregate in the Auckland region.
- With our computer-controlled blending plant, we are also one of the most advanced quarry operations in New Zealand.
- Supplies around a quarter of the Auckland region’s aggregates.
- It has an estimated 150 years’ supply of rock resource.

New life for former quarries operated by Stevenson
The following quarries are no longer in operation. They have all since been rehabilitated and redirected to new uses, either by Stevenson or by other organisations.
- East Tamaki Quarry – now a key element of East Tamaki’s commercial and industrial hub. (Developed by Stevenson Property)
- Mt Smart/Nelson St Quarry – now the Ericsson Stadium, a multi-purpose sports and entertainment arena.
- Mercer sand resource/Waikato River – now the Mercer truck-stop and retail centre. (Developed by Stevenson Property)
- Greenmount Quarry, in East Tamaki – since its closure, it has been converted into a refuse landfill. Its future includes potential redevelopment by the Manukau City Council as a golf course.
