Planning for The Station's exciting future is underway
The Station's treasured heritage buildings are soon to be fully restored, enhanced and activated with new tourism and hospitality attractions – and it's outdoor spaces will offer new dining options along with the continuation of events such as markets, live music and family friendly activities.
Meanwhile, The Station's temporary activation is all about fun and creativity in a unique heritage setting!
While its long-term use is being planned, The Station is being enjoyed as a pop-up community hub for events, shopping and recreation.

The site features:
- a huge outdoor piazza with sheltered tables, seating and adjoining lawns for picnics
- pop-up retailers stocking jewellery, clothing, books, gifts, homewares and art
- a mix of market days, festivals, creative workshops, fitness, music and foodie events
- a kids corner, scooter track – and plenty of room for exercise and play.
Our transformation of The Station has been delivered as part of NSW Government's Revitalising Newcastle program.
