A vacant area of the current Oaklands Estate was acquired in 1898 by the Malting Company of NSW.

Over the following eighteen years, two additional malthouses, storage silos, workshops and a manager's house were constructed.

From 1916 until 1942 the three malt houses were more or less in continuous production with additional ancillary buildings erected and improvements in amenities provided.

A light rail and pedestrian bridge was provided as a crossing point over the Nattai creek to link Malthouse No.
