West District of Geelong Train Station The existing Geelong Station is an architecturally significant precinct with a good quallity of public environment which offers high potential for further development. The extension building is designed to reactivate the west precinct of the existing train station to provide higher accessibility and great efficiency for traveller from the West District. Abandoned cabins, cabooses and the train tracks served as the core inspiration element for designing the exceptional facade of this train station. Existing heritage wall will be casted aside partly to improve the efficiency of internal circulation between the extension building and current rail station.
