PROJECTS
The former Cement works in Portland NSW has respectfully been renamed The Foundations and is undergoing an exciting transformation.
There are a number of projects underway as we begin the process of reactivating this heritage industrial site.
150 years in the making
The Portland Cement Works opened in 1902, and with it came the demand for a workforce. Great effort was taken to create a town that would appeal to families, and in return the willing workers provided their labour. A tight-knit community was forged among the dust.
A town of laconic Australians, built on hope, resilience and a quiet pride.
The next chapter in its proud history is being written, never forgetting its past, as it transforms into the cultural capital of the central west.
