The company conducted a range of improvements and modifications to its works.[2]

In the 1890s there were various governmental actions regarding the company.[3][4]

The company was in liquidation in 1913.[5]

It was the predecessor to the East Perth Gas Works which established its operations a decade later.

Records of the company have survived in archival institutions.[6][7][8]
