A major restoration project in Sydney’s historic sandstone precinct has been recognised at the 2026 National Trust NSW Heritage Awards. The redevelopment of the former Department of Lands building has carefully preserved its original sandstone architecture while adapting the site into a modern cultural and retail destination open to the public. The project has been praised for successfully balancing heritage conservation with contemporary urban redevelopment, contributing to the revitalisation of Sydney’s historic city centre.
