The Centres upgrade is a key element of RailCorps Sustainable Heritage Management Strategy to conserve and display the States rail heritage. John Watkins, the NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Transport, announced the Strategy on 4 August 2006. The Office of Rail Heritage was subsequently established to oversee the implementation of the Strategy. The Contractor shall deliver the Projects design and construction for the operational facility as part of the overall upgrade of the site in accordance with this Request for Tender (RFT).
