Description
The Port Curtis Co-operative Dairy Association Ltd Factory is an industrial complex with buildings constructed between 1929 and 1949 on Short Street in Gladstone. The site includes a main production building, cold storage areas, and office spaces designed for dairy processing operations.
History
The company was founded in 1904 and became one of Queensland's largest dairy cooperatives. Over the following decades, it grew to support regional farmers through dairy processing and export.
Culture
The factory was a major employer for decades and shaped the local community through its dairy operations. It showed how farming and industry developed together in this region.
Practical
