Welcome to Hastings Gateway
Located at the junction of Wauchope railway line and Oxley Highway the Hastings Gateway initiative’s intention is for community participation in the restoration and development of the Wauchope Historic Courthouse, Police Station and Station Masters Residence located at 59 Randall St Wauchope NSW 2446.
Initial Gateway projects are:
- Restoration of the heritage- listed Wauchope Historic Courthouse, Police Station and Station Masters Residence…. currently in action
- Construction of a Memorial Garden around the historic building …first plans drafted
- Cafe construction… remains waiting in the wings!
Some of the future projects are outlined in the “Future Projects” page.
Hastings Gateway is managed by a Board of Directors chosen on the basis of their business and professional skills and with knowledge of local community needs. Community involvement and support is paramount to the restoration and development of the site as a place for the community to come together.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Gateway at an upcoming event, or as a member or volunteer. Please get in touch via hastingsgateway@gmail.com or come along to an open day to say hello!
