glance through the annual station reports reveals the regularity with which individual building parts have been changed, replaced or rearranged. Internal building alterations associated with changes in use have often been dramatic. The partial or wholesale gutting and refitting of old station buildings to accommodate new uses has been a hallmark of Mawson buildings from the earliest years.
An assessment of the AANBUS buildings was completed in 2011; the condition and integrity of the buildings were deemed 'Good' and 'High'. A summary of the condition and integrity of the site's fabric is provided at Table 3.
