Supply report prompts call for planning focus

摘要

A government report on aggregates supply is the strongest evidence yet of the need to reinforce the mineral planning system, according to the Mineral Products Association (MPA). The MPA has welcomed the publication of the Aggregate Minerals Survey for 2019 (AM2019) as a sign of the government's renewed commitment to the Managed Aggregate Supply System (MASS). AM2019 forms a key component of MASS, the system intended to ensure a steady supply of essential aggregates for construction and industry.
