CreatorIllawarra Coke CompanyDate1847-2014DescriptionThe Illawarra Coke Company's (ICC's) site at Corrimal in New South Wales, was in continuous operation for more than a century, and it’s site at Coalcliff was a working industrial site for almost as long. The first ovens at the Corrimal Cokeworks were built in 1911 and commissioned in 1912. Australian Iron & Steel purchased Corrimal Cokeworks and Corrimal Colliery as a package in 1964. In 1969 Bellambi Coal Company purchased the Cokeworks and sourced coal from the South Bulli Mine which they also owned. In 1980 The Bellambi Coal Company Limited was taken over by Australian Coal and Coke Pty Limited and in 1984 Illawarra Coke Company Pty Limited, a subsidiary of Kembla Coal & Coke Pty Limited, purchased Corrimal Coke Company, to add to its operation at Coalcliff. In March 1996 the company was purchased by ICC Holdings Pty Limited. After 99 years of coke-making, the Coalcliff Cokeworks ceased operation in April 2013 and, after producing coke for more than a century, the Corrimal Cokeworks also ceased operation in April 2014.
