Tender Details
The Rail Heritage Centre at Thirlmere is to be upgraded to accommodate and present a significant component of the NSW Governments core rail heritage collection. NSW Rail Transport Museum (NSWRTM) established the Centre in 1975.
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.
In January 2007 the Office of Rail Heritage commissioned the development of a resolved concept design for the upgrade of the Rail Heritage Centre. The key elements of the concept design are:
§ a new major exhibit and multipurpose building with a landscaped entry to the northern end of the site;
§ the development of an interpretation and exhibition design;
§ the relocation of the operational facilities into a new building at the southern end of the site;
§ the improvement of the existing display shed;
§ the refurbishment of the existing station precincts buildings; and,
§ the adaptive re-use of the existing Co Op building for display and community use.
The final version of the concept design was submitted for DA in October 2007.
Expressions of interests are now being sought to undertake the detailed design of the major exhibit and multi-purpose building and the exhibition design for the Centres upgrade.
