Targeting the Aggregate Industry

Continuing with our series of memos aimed at different industries, we have created a memo targeted towards the Aggregate Industry. This industry provides a unique opportunity for the development of golf courses. The Aggregate Resource Act states that pit and quarry owners in Ontario must carry out progressive and final rehabilitation on their site. As this is a complicated and expensive procedure, pit and quarry owners are seeking for alternatives and we feel, the development of a golf course fits that description. Pit and quarry owners often have the in-house materials to undertake much of the general earthworks associated with a golf course, thus drastically reducing the cost of the overall development. Developing a golf course on a used pit or quarry is also an excellent way to optimize return on investment. Below is the memo we created for members of the Aggregate Industry - what we feel is a untapped market in the development of golf courses.
