hmmm . . . there may well be significant
environmental issues to be addressed. However, given the quantity of granite
(and concrete) used in the ACT (in our houses, workplaces, public
buildings etc), it is environmentally positive for such products to be
transported as short a distance as possible. In principle I would prefer granite
sourced from close to Canberra, rather than half way round the world (or even
from a few hundred km away - Ariah Park, Cowra or Mudgee etc).
