Timeless piece of Gladstone landscape gets freshen up.

The timeless building that has graced our landscape for close to 109 years will be getting a fresh coat of paint over the coming weeks.

​

A symbol of our local history, Kullaroo House has lived many different lives, starting as the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Ltd in 1911.

​

Designed by Brisbane architect James Percy Owen Cowlishaw, Kullaroo House has stood proudly on the corner of Goondoon and Yarroon Streets as a bank, boarding house, law office, restaurant and now office space. 

​

Gladstone Ports Corporation (GPC) Acting CEO Craig Walker said the building was purchased in 1993 as head office when GPC was still operating as the Gladstone Port Authority (GPA). 

​

“We refurbished Kullaroo for office space, ensuring to keep the original detail of the building as it is heritage listed; prior to this it was a restaurant in the 80's," Mr Walker said.

“Fast forward 27 years and Kullaroo House is a well-known Gladstone icon and home to our Management and Corporate and Community Relations teams.

​

“The works are being undertaken by local company Priority Painters as part of our routine maintenance schedule and will ensure Kullaroo House remains the 'jewel' of Goondoon Street. 

​

“Works are expected to reach completion by the end of March."
