On Saturday 14 April 2018, fire broke out at Casula in the south of Sydney. Strong winds spread the blaze south east towards Wattle Grove, Holsworthy, Voyager Point and Pleasure Point, eventually impacting an area of more than 3,800 hectares.
Benedict Industries will open the Sandy Point Quarry in Holsworthy to the local community on 1 May so residents can gain a better understanding of the site’s activities, the company’s development plans for the quarry, and steps taken to reduce the impact on the surrounding community and the environment.
