Situated along Albert Street, the police station is on the edge of what is essentilly a residential zone within the ‘Albert Street Heriatge Conservation Area’.

While the station is predominantly low in form to the Civic street frontage, the sheltered entry canopy shifts the scale of the facility from domestic to Civic and the concept is largely responsive to its locality in the regional Manning area, From there, a lightweight form rises, lifted off the ground, highlighting the presence of the building in its environment.

The facade is structured, organised and transparent creating a sheath that cinches the functionality of the building with an air of nobility.

The new facility provides NSW Police with a strong community presence and continued link to the Justice Precinct.
