Before the war they also built a plant in Birkenhead, Port Adelaide, again in my electorate, employing many thousands of members of the western suburbs community. So most of our effort has been focused on getting on with the future and that is what we have been doing for the last four years.”THE last Holden made in Australia has rolled off the production line as workers leave the factory and police were forced to subdue hundreds of eager fans.In the end, Holden will have built a total of 7.6 million cars — including more than 2.3 million Commodores, not including exports — versus Ford’s tally of 5.9 million vehicles and Toyota’s total of 3.4 million.Holden has begun the end of Australian vehicle manufacturing by announcing that 85 per cent of its workers have successfully transitioned to new occupations, study or retirement.
The Birkenhead cement plant has always worked in tandem with Adelaide Brighton's Angaston cement works to ensure the company meets increasing demand in both its domestic and its seaborne supply of cement to its joint venture projects such as Independent Cement and Lime Pty Ltd in Victoria and Sunstate Cement Limited in Queensland. Exposed to the elements, it has—up until now—been largely forgotten by the wider community, masked by weeds on the now vacant 7.7-hectare block at Fletcher’s Slip, near the Birkenhead Bridge.The mosaic is the last physical remnant of the GMH factory, which was a saw-tooth building that used to face Nelson Street (formerly Birkenhead Street) and which employed 100 workmen at the time of its launch and had an assembly capacity of 35 cars per day.“Renewal SA is very pleased to be able to honour the heritage of the former GMH factory at this important site for the Port, and wherever possible, endeavours help to blend history with new and exciting urban form so that people can find a meaningful connection to place,” said Damian De Luca, Acting Chief Executive of Renewal SA.“Once reinstated, the mosaic will be an enduring symbol of the part that Port Adelaide played in Australia’s automotive history and what was the largest car-building organisation in the southern hemisphere.”The centrepiece features the GMH Limited logo, a symbolic nod to the alliance between General Motors and Holden when they became one firm in 1931. Specifically, on the Elizabeth plant (where my own LC GTR was made in 1971). The plant was once a hive of industrial activity, assembling vehicles from General Motors car bodies manufactured at Woodville from 1926–1965, including Holdens from 1949.The Birkenhead plant was responsible for assembling several different makes of cars—including Chevrolets, Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, Oaklands, Buicks, Vauxhalls, Cadillacs and G.M.C. (Supplied: National Archives)In 1923 Holden's Motor Body Builders expanded from King William Street to a new factory at Woodville. But was there also a plant at Woodville near Adelaide as well? Page 1 of 2 - GMH in South Australia - posted in Torana Trivia and Memorabilia: Evening Members Trying to do a bit of research/history on GMH in South Australia. When assembly line was commissioned in 1924, it was the most modern in Australia and Woodville was the sole supplier of car bodies for GM in Australia. In 1924, Holden became the sole supplier of bodies for General Motors vehicles, when it opened a new production plant in Woodville. The Birkenhead plant was responsible for assembling several different makes of cars—including Chevrolets, Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, Oaklands, Buicks, Vauxhalls, Cadillacs and G.M.C. trucks—and during the second world war, also turned out a range of army vehicles and marine craft.A rediscovered piece of South Australia’s automotive heritage has been saved for future generations with the excavation of an art deco mosaic located on the former site of the General Motors Holden (GMH) factory at Port Adelaide.Now Renewal SA, who owns the site, has partnered with Artlab Australia to retrieve the centrepiece of the mosaic and save it from further environmental damage.“Many people don’t even know that the GMH factory existed at Port Adelaide, but now everyone will have the opportunity to learn about it when the mosaic is reinstalled and celebrated as part of future development in the Port.”Award-winning residential developer Cedar Woods is leading the new development which has commenced at Fletcher’s Slip, which will comprise around 500 new homes as well as a public promenade, parks and plazas.During the 1950s, it also assembled about one-tenth of the total number of Holdens assembled in Australia.
