Quirindi Railway Station: Restored - January 2016

The state heritage listed Quirindi Railway Station was restored from October 2015 to January 2016. In particular damp in the historic building was an issue that needed to be addressed. Taking a cautious approach, in lieu of providing a new injected damp proof system, measures were taken to clear out the sub floor space, introduce fans in these spaces and install additional vents.

Works also included reinstating authentic paint schemes and restoration of internal waiting rooms and historic signage.

Sydney Trains restoration of the Quirindi Railway Station was highly commended in the Conservative Build Heritage category of the National Trust Heritage Awards. The Minister of Environment and Heritage, the Hon. Mark Speakman MP, opened the 22nd annual National Trust Heritage Awards on 6 May 2016.
