The Newcastle Post Office, a cherished landmark steeped in history, is being given new life by the Schwartz Family Company. This restoration promises to honour the building’s architectural grandeur while transforming it into a vibrant hub for the community.

At the heart of this revitalization lies a commitment to blending history, culture, and modern functionality. Once completed, the restored Newcastle Post Office will include:

• Dining and Coffee Culture: Savor delicious meals in a stunning setting or enjoy a relaxing coffee in the heart of Newcastle’s history.
• Conference and Event Spaces: The upper floors will house a state-of-the-art conference centre, perfect for weddings, corporate events, and special celebrations.
• Bridal Boutiques and More: A collection of bridal shops, offering everything from florists to photographers, will make this a destination for wedding planning.
• Cultural Museum: The basement will be transformed into a cultural centre, celebrating the rich heritage of the Awabakal people.
• Miniature Newcastle: A historically-based, museum quality representation of Newcastle and its rail, industry, architectural and maritime history.

This ambitious project will also involve meticulous restoration of the building’s heritage features, including removing asbestos and reinstating timber fittings and floors, ensuring the post office retains its historical charm while embracing a new purpose.

By preserving this iconic structure and reimagining its potential, the Schwartz Family Company is creating a dynamic space where Newcastle’s past and future come together.

Stay tuned for updates on the restoration and be part of the journey as we bring this treasured building back to life.
