Walter Burley Griffin Incinerator, Heritage incinerator in Ipswich, Australia.

The Walter Burley Griffin Incinerator features two connected gable-roofed brick structures built into a hillside with a prominent chimney at 10A Milford Street.

Constructed between 1936 and 1940, this municipal waste facility represents the sole Queensland building designed by American architect Walter Burley Griffin during the Great Depression.

The structure transformed from a waste management facility to the Incinerator Theatre in 1969, providing a permanent venue for the Ipswich Little Theatre Society.

The building originally processed municipal waste through hoppers and burning chambers, with trucks accessing the facility via the hillside position.

The incinerator utilized a reverberatory system patented by Australian engineer John Boadle, supervised by local architect George Brockwell Gill during construction.
