Flinders Street Station Redevelopment and Maintenance


An iconic Melbourne landmark, Flinders Street Station is used by more than 90,000 Victorians each day. A major revitalisation project sought to preserve the station’s historic beauty and improve functionality for current and future generations.

Flinders Street Station is one of Melbourne’s most recognisable landmarks. Located on the high-profile corner of Flinders and Swanston Streets in the central business district, the distinctive Edwardian building is at the heart of the city’s rail network.
Dulux played a crucial role in a $100 million state-funded upgrade completed in 2020. The project was delivered in two phases: repair and restoration to the main administration building, and works to improve the passenger experience, including improved passenger routing and amenities.
Dulux’s focus was the project management and delivery of repair and restoration works to structural and external finishes. As a heritage-listed building, it was critical that these works were sympathetic to the station’s original colours and finishes. The outcome was a program of works that provided a new lease of life to this much-loved feature of the Melbourne streetscape and ensured its protection into the future.
