Launceston Gasworks, Industrial heritage building in Launceston, Tasmania.
The Launceston Gasworks features sandstone structures and a tall red brick building displaying 'COOK WITH GAS' text on its facade.
The Launceston Gas Company established this industrial facility in 1858 to supply gas for street lighting and domestic use throughout the growing city.
The gasworks transformation from coal gas production to LPG distribution reflects the technological evolution of Tasmania's energy industry over 150 years.
The site currently serves as Origin Energy's Tasmanian headquarters, maintaining its connection to energy distribution while preserving its historical structures.
The facility produced 900,000 cubic feet of gas daily at its peak, distributing energy through 180 kilometers of pipes across Launceston.
