THE Victorian government has committed $100 million to refurbish the century old Flinders Street Station.
Australian construction company Built Pty Ltd has been awarded the contract to refurbish the historic administration building.
Works will begin in the coming weeks and will see the restoration of the crumbling façade and re-painting the more than 100 year-old building.
Work on the passenger improvements will begin in the middle of the year. The entire project is expected to be complete in 2018 and will create around 150 jobs.
“Our practical project will fix Flinders Street Station – restoring the crumbling building, fixing the leaks, and making the station more functional for the 200,000 passengers that use it every day.” Premier Daniel Andrews said.
Minister for Public Transport Jacinta Allan said the $100 million project will return this grand old dame to its former glory.
