The members of the Esk Lions Club undertook a community project to renovate the old Esk Railway Station buildings. Some financial assistance was given by the Qld. Dept of Infrastructure and Planning, who are constructing the Rail Trail and also by the Somerset Regional Council. Stage 1 (the main building) has been restored to its former glory and will be officially opened at the Brisbane Valley Multicultural Festival on 25th July 2009.
The Lions Club intends to use the main building as their “den”, however it will be made available for the use of community groups. The preserved railway building, which are over 100 years old, will enhance the town of Esk.
