Lydiard Street North, Ballarat, Victoria
Ballarat Railway Station complex is one of only three
surviving nineteenth century station buildings in Australia retaining a train hall. The train hall and north station buildings date from 1862 and the south building with its imposing clock tower was added in 1889.
We have been involved in the ongoing conservation and
restoration of the complex over several years. Recently, we completed the documentation and contract administration for the roof replacement of the north station building, along with a comprehensive overhaul of the ceremonial west and south elevations, the reinstatement of glazing and vents to the train hall roof and restoration of the footbridge.
In 2007, we completed a comprehensive overhaul of the
grand west and south elevations of the south station building involving the reinstatement of details, mouldings and key stones that had been removed prior to the Queens visit in 1954. Previous projects included a comprehensive conservation management plan, documentation and administration for restoration and refurbishment of the train hall and north and south station buildings, investigation of the exterior decorative finishes and feasibility studies for the station area.
