Cement Industry in Australia Emerges as Key National Industry
The cement sector in Australia employs thousands, produces up to 1.2 million tons annually, and uses about 900 thousand tons of coal. From its origins in New South Wales and Victoria to widespread Australian ownership, the industry supports rail, ship, and road transport, with 11 cement works ranging 30 000 to 200 000 tons per year. It is described as a self-contained, high quality, labor intensive industry essential in peace and war.
