Liberty Bell Bay Smelter Liquidated | Sydney News

The Liberty Bell Bay smelter in Tasmania is officially being liquidated after failed buyer bids, leaving 200 workers unemployed and triggering a scramble for government support. Once a 66-year-old cornerstone of the region, the plant entered administration last March under former owner GFG Alliance, with creditors now estimating debts between $70M and $300M — including unpaid wages owed directly to workers. The Tasmanian government calls the closure “deeply disappointing” but vows to back affected families while exploring future redevelopment potential.
