Bundaberg School of Arts

You can’t miss the Bundaberg School of Arts building on Bourbong Street. This two storey brick building is possibly the oldest building in Bundaberg still standing.

Construction on the School of Arts building commenced on 2 June 1888 and the building was handed over to the School of Arts Trustees on 16th April 1889. The Trustees were mainly top dignitaries of Bundaberg and many of these dignitaries went on to become Mayors of Bundaberg.

The building is not in it’s original condition as 1976 saw a partial reconstruction of the building funded by the National Estate’s Grant and Bundaberg City Council.
