What Is Virgin Excavated Natural Material (VENM)?
VENM is actually an acronym to describe a natural material as defined in the “The Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (POEO Act)”.
VENM, that is, virgin excavated natural material’ is any clay, gravel, sand, soil or rock ‘fines’ that have been excavated or quarried from uncontaminated areas and that have NO EXPOSURE to man-made and manufactured chemicals and where there may be residual contamination to the natural material.
The definition and requirements to be met for classing VENM are mandated and communicated via an “EPA Gazettal notice” from the NSW Environment Protection Authority. ‘Government Gazette’ can be used as a search term to find these Gazettes on their website.
The EPA’s latest ‘EPA Gazette’ for March 2021 PDF can be located here relating to VENM and other NSW council legislation, etc.
Even though a ‘pure’ material in environmental and sustainable regards, VENM is also classified as waste being “pre-classified as general solid waste (non-putrescible)”. See an official waste classification reference here.

The Gosford Quarries Sandstone name is renowned for quality and for the ability to supply raw sandstone quarry civil products in large volumes and short lead times!
Civil Designers seek natural materials with new environmental and sustainable mandates through government controls and directives.
We are often asked by civil engineers, our of concern, the suitability of sandstone as a material sedimentary porous rock if its nature is suitable for use in civil waterway projects, where there is exposure to moisture and direct water contact, especially in marine installations where large boulders have significant physically wave attack, etc.
Sandstone, in fact, is more suitable and stronger than other materials and man-made blocks (concrete materials, etc).
“Gosford Quarries’ 100% natural Australian Sandstone is an environmentally suitable civil material that, by its very nature (originating from our beautiful land), integrates the benefits of VENM materials and sustainable extraction with civil design and aesthetic appeal.”
