Statement of Significance
What is significant?
Malmsbury Railway Station was constructed in 1862 by Robert Turnbull & Co, on the Melbourne-Echuca Line, for the Victorian Railways. It comprises a single storeyed, standard basalt station building, with an attached two storeyed residence and timber additions. A basalt lamp room/toilet block adjoins. The verandah is timber posted and the platform wall is basalt. A timber-framed waiting shelter and van goods shelter are located on the down platform. A basalt and steel crane base remains, while the sidings have been removed. The goods shed, situated adjacent to the station building, is a large basalt structure with a gabled slate roof. Other associated structures include a down-side basalt road bridge, and an up-side crane base.
How is it significant?
The Malmsbury Railway Station is historically and architecturally significant to the State of Victoria.
Why is it significant?
Malmsbury Railway Station is historically significant as one of the earliest stations built in Victoria, constructed in 1862 on the Echuca-Bendigo line. Built during the period of the 'main trunk lines', c.1857 - c.1869, these were the formative years of railway development in Victoria.
Malmsbury Railway Station is architecturally significant as a very important example of its group, the 'Carlsruhe' style. This style was a direct derivation of the 'English' style, a type of railway station design typical in England during the 1840s and 1850s, which was based on classical planning principles and details. The station is consequently a key contributor to the character of the Bendigo-Echuca line, and the goods shed enhances the site, particularly due to its large scale. The station complex is a substantially intact example of the architecture of the 'main trunk' lines, and is visually linked with the Malmsbury viaduct, 500m up side of the station.

MALMSBURY RAILWAY STATION - History
Malmsbury Railway Station is historically significant being one of the earliest stations built in Victoria, constructed in 1862 on the Echuca-Bendigo line. Built during the period of the 'main trunk lines', c.1857 - c.1869, these were the formative years of railway development in Victoria. This period of construction was characterised by lavish expenditure on railway structures, designed in accordance with the British standards of the time (Harrigan, 1962). The intact quality of the station represents an important reminder of the major engineering works undertaken at the time. (Beeston, 1995)MALMSBURY RAILWAY STATION - Permit Exemptions
