Denistone Station, built in 1937, is an early example of the Inter-War Railway Domestic style of railway architecture. Despite some modifications during the mid-1900s, the station and its associated buildings have remained largely unaltered for nearly 100 years The Statement of Heritage Impact provided recommendations to guide the design of the station upgrades so as to minimise any impact to this heritage listed station.
The Heritage Interpretation Plan focused on telling two key stories:
- Yarra (blue gum): blue gums grew in high forests around Denistone, providing shelter, medicine and stories for the Wallumedegall people, and some of Sydney’s last remnants of blue gum high forest grow close to Denistone Station today.
- A modern station: Denistone Station, the last station built on the North Shore Line, was constructed at a time of great societal change between the World Wars. This pivotal period in NSW railway history saw a change from traditional Victorian style of railway design to more modern, simple styles that were uniquely Australian.
“Working with Artefact on this project was an absolute pleasure. They identified the valuable stories from the past and helped us pull those stories into our architecture. The outcome is that Denistone Station feels like it's had a facelift, while holding on to it's smile lines from the past.”

Principal Architect, DesignInc Sydney
Artefact’s Heritage Interpretation Plan resulted in the inclusion of interpretive panels outlining the unique history of the station and the heritage of the Wallumedegall people of the area.
Our work also included the patterning of the overhead walkway inspired by remnant blue gum forest of the area, and the reinstatement of the art deco front facade entrance feature to the station.
These elements added to the community’s positive experience of the upgraded station.
