Australia: Southern Cross Cement, a joint venture between Brickworks, Neilsen Group and Neumann Group, is planning to open a 0.2Mt/yr terminal by October 2019. The US$60m unit will import cement from south east Asia, according to the CourierMail newspaper. It is anticipated to supply 10% of Queensland market. A 12,000t/day mechanical ship unloader will be installed at the site.

Australia: An initial public offering by Wagners has been threatened from plans by a rival company to build a cement grinding plant and terminal in Brisbane, Queensland. Wagners operates its own 0.8Mt/yr grinding plant in the city and commentators mentioned by The Australian newspaper have speculated that this increased competition locally could damage its aspirations. However, Wagners believes that the new plant is unlikely to be built. The 0.2Mt/yr project from brick and tile maker Brickworks, in a consortium with Newman Quarrying and the Neilsen Group, remains in the planning stage.
