Westernport Refinery

Westernport Refinery was an oil refinery operated by BP Australia Limited at Crib Point adjacent to Westernport Bay, in Victoria, Australia. It was constructed from 1963 and started operations in 1966. Its last day of operation was 1 April 1985.

Construction of the refinery began in December 1963. It was designed with an initial throughput of 1,400,000 tonnes (1,500,000 short tons) of crude oil per annum, and able to be expanded to 2,000,000 tonnes (2,200,000 short tons) per annum. It was served by a jetty with two berths for import of crude oil and export of refined products in bulk.

In 1965, BP built the BP Refinery Administration Building, adjacent to the refinery, that remained in use until 1985. The former administration building was added to the Victorian Heritage Register on 5 May 1994 in recognition of its historical and architectural significance; and was repurposed as the Victorian Maritime Centre, a maritime and naval museum.
