Statement of Significance
The building has a social and architectural value, being well designed for its purpose and certainly well used. At the time of its construction it would have provided quite a contrast with other buildings in the town.
Physical Description
The building faces north onto a small grassed area adjoining Barrack Street, with its back to the railway. The coffee lounge is at the eastern end, with a glass front, the travel centre occupies the centre of the building, also with a glass front, while the toilets are at the western end, with a brick wall at the front. The roof has a single pitch northward over the coffee lounge and travel centre, extending to provide window shading and a verandah for outdoor eating, but is gabled over the toilets, which extend to the edge of the verandah.
