The Canberra Times informs us that Kingston’s Bus Depot that wasn’t a bus depot has achieved heritage listing and thus will be spared the untender mercies of property development.
The nine-year battle to conserve Kingston’s Old Bus Depot is over after the ACT’s heritage authority agreed to permanently list the historic structure.
A final decision by the ACT Heritage Council this week noted the significance of the 70-year-old building’s fully welded rigid steel portal frames and its historic value to early transport workers and their families.
