Chimney's heritage stacks up
Townsville’s last standing 19th century industrial flue, the Ross River Meatworks chimney, has been heritage-listed.
The Queensland Heritage Council, the state’s independent advisor on heritage, responsible for deciding what places do and do not go on the Queensland heritage register, made its decision on Friday.
The National Trust of Queensland nominated the 39.6m tower for consideration earlier this year.
Heritage Council chair David Eades hailed the decision as balancing past and future needs.
“We were aware of the residential development plans and believe we’ve come to a decision that works for everyone,” Mr Eades said.
“This chimney stack evokes so many reminders of the past – of days when Queensland was reliant on steam-driven power, of the role played by rail in taking produce to the world markets, and of course the link between pastoralism and development of frozen meats as major export commodity. For a time, Ross River was the largest and most sophisticated meat processor in Australasia.
“The 26m by 15m heritage boundary provides a safe as well as aesthetic buffer around the chimney that can be readily incorporated into parkland within the residential development.”
Townsville has 80 places of state heritage significance on the Queensland heritage register including the showgrounds, former Burns Philp & Company Ltd Building in Flinders Street, Kardinia, Cape Cleveland light station and Little Crystal Creek Bridge.
