Location: Mackey St, North Geelong VIC 3215
District: Central Victoria
Type: The Geelong port elevator was built by the Victorian Government and commissioned in 1939. In 1950, two horizontal grain sheds with a storage capacity of approximately 500,000 tonnes were constructed. Since 1998 these sheds have been used to store woodchips prior to export through the grain shipping gallery, and recently, to store up to 150,000 tonnes of fertiliser. An additional grain storage shed was built in 1976. This shed is adjacent to the Barrett Burston Geelong maltings and forms an integral part of the supply of malting barley to that malt house. The Geelong elevator can handle the export of wheat, barley, oilseeds and pulses, delivered by road, or on standard or broad gauge rail. Site capacity 820,000 tonnes.
