Restoring a part of Bundaberg’s history is an honour in itself. Once complete, Precinct 58 is hoped to be a place that feels accessible and welcoming, right in the centre of Bundaberg, where people can walk through the original fire station doors and feel both the history and the future at once.

The upper level will provide space for specialist services including client support, youth services and mental health care. The ground floor will be a more open, multi-purpose community space designed to bring people together, with rooms for creative activity, public use and dining.

Christensen Industries have done an extraordinary job sourcing materials locally wherever possible, from tiles through to carpeting, ensuring the project supports our region as it grows.

This building project is a commitment to community, and we look forward to the day we can open Precinct 58 and reveal what has been carefully built, layer by layer, for this region.

We are gaining momentum! We have a real feeling of anticipation as we watch the transformation of the former Bundaberg and Rural Fire Stations into Precinct 58.

This project has been made possible through significant investment from our organisation, alongside $1.91 million in funding from the Australian Government’s Growing Regions program.

A great deal of architectural and engineering work was completed long before construction began, and what we are seeing now is that careful planning coming to life on site. It is a credit to the dedication and skill of everyone involved in the build.

“We are 12 months into the project, and we have 12 months to go, and I welcome the day we can officially open Precinct 58 and reveal our vision to the public.” – Sharon Sara, CEO, Bridges Health & Community Care

There is something to be said for the energy and nostalgia that comes when history is considered and carefully revived.

At Bridges Health & Community Care, our redevelopment of the former Bundaberg and Rural Fire Station (Precinct 58) is progressing well. Care is being taken to preserve the character of this much-loved, story-filled building while creating something new for the future.

Our aim with this project is to create a place for the Bundaberg region that respects its past while strengthening community connections well into the years ahead.

We are proud to see the Fire Station Precinct taking shape and look forward to what it will bring to the region.

Our Fire Station Precinct redevelopment is as much a return to yesteryear and the preservation of history as it is about looking to the future, supporting local apprentices and giving young people one of many reasons to stay in the Bundaberg region - creating real career opportunities.

Working alongside Industries, Bridges Health & Community Care is proud to support young people who want to stay local and build meaningful careers in construction and manufacturing.

School-based apprenticeships help connect education with employment, giving students confidence, experience and recognised qualifications while contributing to purpose-filled projects.

This is how we, as a regional community grow, by creating opportunities that make young people want to stay and build their future here

Bridges Health & Community Care Head Office is now located in the historic Wintergarden Forum, a restored heritage building that many locals will remember as the old Birch, Carroll & Coyle Theatre. It’s a unique space with a rich history, right in the CBD and easy to access by train, bus or a short drive from the airport.

The venue is available for hire, with four multipurpose spaces to choose from. These areas suit a range of events, including meetings, workshops, conferences, community gatherings and private functions. With plenty of natural light and original character, it offers something a little different from your standard event space.

If you have an upcoming event, corporate function or community project and need a venue, get in touch to ask questions, request a functions pack or arrange a time to come and have a look for yourself!
