Inland Petroleum, an independent, locally owned, and operated fuel and lubricant supplier, has been a steadfast presence in Central Western NSW since 1985. The company's head office, based in Dubbo, NSW, oversees four depot facilities and ten retail sites strategically situated across Western and Northwestern NSW.

We have a proven track record of coordinating supply for large mining, transport, and agricultural customers through our world-class operations centre based in Dubbo. We utilise sophisticated automation systems to ensure our customers' minimum safety stock requirements are always met. Our schedulers are experts at utilising our fleet size and considerable internal storage capacity to mitigate price and supply risks to our customers.

Retail
Inland Petroleum, a standout in the industry, offers unique fuel and convenience retail services directly to consumers at its 13 locations. In addition, it provides dedicated and specialist fuel distribution services, setting it apart from its competitors.
Our newly redeveloped site, the Clydebank site in Dubbo, is a monumental achievement that stands as a testament to the collective effort and dedication of our team. Witnessing this project come to life has rightfully instilled a profound sense of pride in all those involved.
The transformation journey was filled with long hours, numerous challenges, and moments of doubt. However, our team's resilience and determination shone through, as they met deadlines and worked tremendous hours to complete this project. Our employees and committed suppliers truly made this project a success. We acknowledge and appreciate their hard work and dedication, which made this achievement possible.
While service Station changes and new builds are complex, they are dwarfed in complexity by the monumental task of completely redeveloping an existing site.
Community Engagement
For almost forty years, Inland Petroleum has supported rural and regional businesses, sporting clubs, and events in the Central West. We donate over a quarter million dollars to community groups, charities, and sporting clubs annually.
Our commitment to corporate social responsibility differentiates our business from competitors and strengthens our reputation. By actively contributing to the community's well-being, we can build a positive brand image and foster goodwill among the communities where we are located.
The Opportunity
In 2010, Shell approached Paul to purchase their depot at 109 Erskine Street, Dubbo. Shell had a depot without a business, and Paul had a business without a depot. Recognising the strategic value of this opportunity, Paul, with the encouragement of his wife Pam and son Drew, made the bold decision to purchase the site. This acquisition, with its one million litres of storage, positioned Inland Petroleum to be a competitive force in the market, a testament to Paul's business acumen and strategic thinking.
Inland Petroleum reached a fantastic milestone when Paul and Drew opened our workshop and logistics hub on Fitzroy Street in Dubbo in 2021. It took months of hard work to prepare our workshop to safely and efficiently maintain our fleet of 40 trucks and the assortment of trailers that make up the various combinations we use. This has been an extremely rewarding project for all of us involved, and it's a testament to what can be achieved when a great team of people works towards a common goal.
Inland Petroleum acquired the expertise of Luke McKay, an exceptional Workshop Manager with an impressive background of over 17 years of experience. As a qualified Welder/Fabricator and Heavy Diesel Mechanic, he brings a wealth of knowledge to his role. Luke oversees our workshop team and workshop, which manages a fleet of 45 prime movers and multiple tanker combinations.
Luke's extensive experience and skills make him an invaluable asset to our team. His ability to efficiently handle complex repairs and maintenance tasks ensures that our fleet remains in top-notch condition. His attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and dedication to ensuring the highest standards of safety and efficiency provide us with a sense of security and confidence in our operations.
