Bitumen and Oil Refineries (Australia) Limited (later named by the acronym Boral) opened Australia's first bitumen and oil refinery in Matraville in March 1947. The company was 40% owned by Caltex which supplied the crude oil to be refined. Most of the early employees were discharged from the Royal Australian Navy.[1] In 1968 the refinery became owned by a joint venture with Total SA.[2]
It was demolished in 1988.[3]
