In 1958, Austral purchased and upgraded the Rochedale Brickworks installing high capacity kilns in 1968, 1970 and 1972 as part of |
|
Rochedale's progressive upgrading, culminating in a $16 million investment in 1984. |
|
The new facilities gave the plant a capacity of 75 million bricks a year. In 1993 a further $20 million was invested, doubling its capacity |
|
and upgrading the plant to incorporate specialised paver production facilities. |
