Goulburn icon back in business

Australia Post will reopen its Goulburn Post Office in the city’s heritage Auburn Street building, returning postal services to the landmark in late 2027.
The building has been temporarily closed after contaminants were detected during routine testing in areas not accessed by customers.
Australia Post General Manager Retail Operations Sarah Coe said restoration work was now being planned to ensure the historic building was safe and suitable for modern postal services.
“Bringing a heritage Post Office back to life takes careful restoration work, and we’re committed to ensuring it is safe, modern and ready to serve Goulburn into the future,” Ms Coe said.
“We’re now focused on its refresh, and we can’t wait to welcome locals and customers back next year.”
Member for Eden-Monaro Kristy McBain welcomed the announcement, describing it as a significant win for Goulburn after campaigning for the building to be restored.
“Since the building’s closure, I’ve consistently advocated for Australia Post to restore this important community asset,” Ms McBain said.
“I’ve raised the issue directly with Australia Post and worked closely with residents, businesses and community groups to ensure the community’s voice was heard.
“This is a significant win for Goulburn, and I want to thank everyone who contacted my office, shared their concerns and helped advocate for this outcome.
“I look forward to seeing this iconic landmark restored and once again serving the people of Goulburn.”
Until the heritage post office reopens, customers can continue using the temporary Australia Post outlet at 168–172 Auburn Street and the Goulburn North Licensed Post Office.
Australia Post said further information on the scheduled reopening would be provided closer to the completion of the restoration works.
