Portland Cement Works Precinct, Industrial heritage site in New South Wales, Australia.
The Portland Cement Works Precinct spans 86 hectares, featuring old industrial buildings, limestone quarries, and converted spaces for modern activities.
The establishment of cement production in 1863 by Thomas Murray marked the beginning of industrial development that transformed the region until operations ceased in 1991.
The cement works influenced the growth of Portland township, providing employment, infrastructure, and community facilities including a hospital and public services.
The precinct now houses markets, art studios, event spaces, and fishing areas, with regular activities scheduled throughout the year for visitors.
The preserved industrial structures include painted silos displaying murals that commemorate the workers who contributed to Australia's cement production history.
