Morwell Power Station
Preserving Victoria's industrial heritage
We were commissioned to develop a Conservation Management Plan to distil the heritage of the Morwell Power Station and Briquette Factory. The document advised on appropriate strategies to conserve and enhance the significance of the place, whilst supporting the site and buildings’ ongoing use.
The Morwell Power Station and Briquette Factory is a significant component of the Victorian Government’s post-WWII strategy for energy generation. The site contains a collection of mid-twentieth century briquetting machinery (a device used to make biomass material by compressing blocks of coat dust) and is the only remaining and intact assemblage in Victoria.
In collaboration with GJM Heritage, we were commissioned by Gippsland Infrastructure to prepare a Conservation Management Plan (CMP). Incorporating the previously commissioned Heritage Assessment and Interpretation Plan (prepared by Sue Hodges Productions (SHP)) for the site, the CMP provides a developed understanding of the significant aspects of the site and its heritage values in order to guide and advise on an action plan for future maintenance and manage possible change.
