Whitehead Quarry is a current extractive work-authority record for sand & gravel in Towong, Victoria, Australia.

The Victorian register records a current extractive work authority for this place. A current authority permits extraction subject to its approvals and conditions; it does not, by itself, prove that quarrying is occurring on the review date.

The source record identifies work authority WA1462, the material category “Sand and Gravel” and Towong. The map point is a directory reference derived from the authority polygon, not a surveyed quarry entrance.
