Kingaroy Butter Factory

The industrial facility at 67 William Street features timber framing, chamferboard cladding, large sliding doors, and clerestory windows for natural illumination.

Constructed in 1926 by Waugh and Josephson, the factory replaced an earlier 1907 structure and became one of Queensland's largest butter producers during the interwar period.

The dairy factory represents the cooperative movement in Queensland agriculture, where local farmers united to establish processing facilities for their products.

The factory complex maintains its original processing layout, including cold storage areas, packing sections, and machinery spaces from different production periods.

The facility produced 99 tons of butter weekly at its peak, sourcing cream from 1000 regional suppliers before transitioning to wartime cheese production.
