Forbes railway station and residence is one of the best surviving standard roadside stations surviving. Both buildings are in excellent condition and retain their traditional setting with good detailing to both buildings and grounds. The station area retains planting and entrance arrangements with
279:
fencing that illustrate past use of the railway property. They are important elements in the townscape of Forbes as significant civic buildings located at the northern entrance to the town. The garden remnant is important as the station garden was a winner of many railway garden competitions.
261:
The heritage-listed complex consists of a type 4 brick station building of standard roadside design and a brick and concrete-faced platform, both dating from 1893. The dock platform, station fences and garden and entrance forecourt are also heritage-listed.
