Calleja In The Community
From humble beginnings as a one-truck waste transport business in 1950, the family-run Calleja Group is today driving the Bacchus Marsh-based JBD Industrial Park, and is behind a revolutionary and clean brown coal drying process. We are dedicated to an entrepreneurial, innovative business philosophy, throughout the scope of our various and complementary businesses.
History
In post-war 1950, Joe Calleja left Malta and came to Australia for a new life for his family. Based in Melbourne he purchased the first truck of the future Calleja fleet. He worked long days as a subcontractor carting scrap metal for industrial clients in Melbourne.

After arranging for his family to join him the business slowly expanded as his sons progressively joined the family business.
Today the fleet comprises over 130 specialised waste transport vehicles including large capacity tippers, hook lift and roll on/roll off vehicles. There is also a huge fleet of earth moving vehicles including dozers, excavators, fork lifts etc. supporting the many aspects of the operations of material handling, recycling, landfilling and mining.
Calleja Transport officially formed in 1971, operating from the family home in Ascot Vale. The operation moved to larger premises in Brooklyn in 1975 and then to the present head office site in Altona North in 1984.
David Calleja, head of the family company at the time, was a true entrepreneur and recognised the future in the combination of recycling, waste management and landfilling. He was the driving force behind the acquisition of Maddingley Brown Coal in 1990, an operating brown coal mine in Bacchus Marsh, which was also being utilised as a small inert landfill in the void created by mining since 1946.
Calleja have expanded the landfilling operations under licence and direct control of the Environment Protection Authority and today is receiving over 500,000 tonnes pa. of inert waste and low level contaminated soil.
Adjoining the mining site was the CSR Hardboard Mill comprising of 78 Ha. of zone 2 industrial land and 354 ha. of farming land. This site came up for auction in 1999 and was acquired by the Calleja Group to become JBD Industrial Park, expanding the landholding in Bacchus Marsh to over 1200 ha.
The industrial site contains a large manufacturing complex which employed over 450 people at the peak of CSR Hardboard Mills production. The site has been and is continuing to be developed as an industrial complex housing a variety of compatible manufacturing industries.

He bought one truck and then bought more, said the Calleja Groups Project Manager, Peter Dudley. As his sons got older, they also drove the trucks. We now have around 130 trucks so its grown considerably from Joe Callejas original dream.

On behalf of the Maddingley Group, spokesman Don Calleja said: "This transaction aligns the interests of the Coldry and Matmor stakeholders."
"We are now substantial shareholders in ECT, and as such we are pleased that ECT has ownership of the Coldry technology and is in a better position to bring it to full commercialisation.
"Our increased shareholding in ECT will also better align our interests as licensor of the Matmor technology. To a large extent, this transaction fulfils the dream of my brother, the late David Calleja, who worked for over 10 years on developing the Coldry technology."
On 22 June 2009 ECT announced funding for a major feasibility study for a Coldry plant, and agreement on staged construction of the plant with Vietnam based Thang Long Investment and Commercial Joint Stock Company.

Calleja Today
Calleja operates two transfer stations, one at the main transport depot in Altona and the other at Newlands Road Coburg North.
The Altona site has a Green Star approved semi-automatic separation system to process construction waste from projects that demand that waste created must be processed and segregated to the highest possible level. There is also a facility to process normal industrial and demolition waste which is manually separated for timber, cardboard, metals and electronic waste. All remaining waste is transferred to the Bacchus Marsh landfill.
The Coburg site separates industrial waste into timber, concrete, bricks, cardboard, metals, electronic and green waste using manual and magnetic separation with the balance going to the Bacchus Marsh landfill.
The main transport depot in Altona services the entire transport and materials handling fleet with qualified mechanics working on daily and overnight shifts. The site also develops and constructs new trailers and equipment as well as repairing existing equipment and bins.
Calleja properties include ….
From very humble beginnings as a one-truck business, Calleja Transport evolved into the Calleja Group. The company continues to expand in size, services and abilities with the help of Joe Callejas three sons, David, Donald and Brian. Today, Donald, Brian and Davids son Rodney hold key management roles.
It was David Calleja as Managing Director who identified and pursued new opportunities with the acquisition the Bacchus Marsh-based Maddingly Brown Coal Mine in 1990.
Soon after joining his fathers business in 1963, David showed a flair for driving new business and new innovations. He was in instrumental in the development of improvements made to waste-handling equipment such as hook-lift trucks and bin systems.
When David Calleja bought the mine, he had considered it for uses other than mining, Mr Dudley said, explaining that the original aim was to use the mines 13.5 million cubic metre hole as an EPA-licensed landfill site.
The open cut mine began supplying steaming coal to paper mills, several hospitals and other industrial customers in 1946. Coal sales ceased due the availability of cheap, natural gas and the closure of the CSR hardboard mill in 1998 (which the Calleja Group bought in 1999). The company then re-directed mining activities towards alternate coal uses, such as supplying agricultural customers with organic fertilisers, soil conditioners and top soils.
The company soon realised that the brown coal reserve was a valuable resource to Victoria, and explored drying technologies to make a product that would be acceptable as an alternative to black coal.
Today run by three generations of Callejas, the company’s core business continues to be the collection of industrial waste for recycling and disposal.
Complementary to the waste transport business, the company purchased a number of purpose-built earthmoving equipment, graders, excavators and bulldozers to enhance the land-filling and waste recycling operations. Our clients today include Smorgon Steel, Simsmetal and Northstar Steel Recyclers, Mr Dudley explained. They are the big players in recycling scrap metal. We are the ones who carry their waste.

The company soon realised that the brown coal reserve was a valuable resource to Victoria, and explored drying technologies to make a product that would be acceptable as an alternative to black coal.
The lowest ranking of coal, brown coal is not mined and burnt in many places in Australia due to the 60% moisture content which has a greater capacity for creating greenhouse gases.
For the last 14 years, the Calleja Group has funded pioneering research into a drying process which turns brown coal into the product equivalent to high-quality black coal.
