Ballina Readimix Concrete (BRM) is a Council owned business venture currently employing five people. Purchased in 1993, BRM competes with the local branches of two multinational companies.
Running at a small profit, Council’s operation ensures that consistently priced product is available for its own construction work. In addition, BRM ensures that competitive prices are maintained for all building and construction work that is taking place in the Shire.
Council also operates several quarries as business units providing a further five full time jobs with profits again returned to the community.
