Rock from Ray Owen Oval Extension Works Gets a Second Life Across Kalamunda

10 December 2025 9:00 AM

The City of Kalamunda is turning rubble into resource as part of its commitment to sustainability and smart infrastructure planning.

During the expansion works at Ray Owen Oval, significant rock breaking was required to prepare the site. But instead of sending the excavated rock to landfill, the City is giving it a second life, repurposing it for drainage works across the region.

This initiative not only reduces waste but also delivers cost savings by reusing existing materials for future projects.

Keep an eye out, the rocks from Ray Owen may soon be supporting the ground beneath your feet!

The Ray Owen Oval Extension Project is part of the WA Government’s PlayOn WA, an exciting initiative to deliver 2,030 community infrastructure items across WA by 2030.
