The Maltings

Located at the North end of Mittagong town

Preface

The Mittagong Maltings was a large 3 malthouse complex first established in 1899 by the Malting Company of NSW to supply malt to the Breweries throughout the state. The Maltings site has been heritage assessed.

Location

Just North East of the current Mittagong railway station, the large imposing buildings were established next to the Main Southern Railway and Nattai Creek.

Early times

A vacant area of the current Oaklands Estate was acquired in 1898 by the Malting Company of NSW. In 1899 an imposing yet dignified malthouse was constructed between the railway line and Nattai Creek. Over the following 18 years, two additional malthouses, storage silos, workshops and a manager's house were constructed. The first malthouse was completed in 1899 and started operation in August of that year. In 1905 the Malting Company of NSW accepted an offer from Tooth & Co to purchase the Mittagong Maltings and the original company was wound up. In 1906 Tooth & Co constructed a second malthouse that was located to the north of the first malthouse and was a reverse image, this was completed in 1906. The third malthouse located across Natai creek from the other two started operating in 1916.
