Coonamble railway station is a heritage-listed former railway station at Coonamble in the Orana region of New South Wales, Australia. It served as the terminus for passenger services on the Coonamble railway line and was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.[1]
The Coonamble railway line was completed to Coonamble in 1903.[2] The original station was burnt to the ground in a May 1910 fire.[3] The station was subsequently rebuilt, and the current station buildings date from this time.[1]
In 2007, media reports suggested that the station was at risk of being demolished after the Australian Rail Track Corporation expressed concern about frequent vandalism causing maintenance and safety issues. The Coonamble Shire Council were looking for a possible tenant at that time to secure the building's future.[4]
The station received $131,045 in federal government heritage funding for protection and conservation works in 2009.[5] The station platform had been recently reconstructed in 2015.[6]
