SBA provided multidisciplinary planning, engineering, technical, and project management services in support of the proposed expansion of the Braeside Quarry.

Planning and zoning map illustrating the proposed expansion of the Braeside Quarry. The diagram shows the existing licensed quarry area in the southwest portion of the site and a large proposed extraction area to the east labelled “Rezone to EM.” Coloured outlines identify proposed licence boundaries, zoning changes, and plant locations, including a hot mix asphalt plant and screening/crushing area. Surrounding land uses are labelled as woodlands, agriculture, rural residential, open space, and wetlands, with nearby roads including Golf Club Road and Carmichael Side Road shown for context. The figure represents the planning framework supporting the quarry expansion and associated operational facilities. Braeside, ON.
