Thank you to everyone who has engaged with the project so far — we’ve had some wonderful feedback!

The photo of the tiles shows the size, and both are made from fibre cement. The tiles are shown together with the underside of the original 115-year-old tile, so I’m going to call that colour a match!

The north-east corner is now complete, and we’re heading onto the north-west corner of the front. Another step closer!

There have been a lot of questions about the type of tile and how they’re laid, so I’d like to introduce you to Mark Birkett, Master Slater, who’s going to take you through the process.
The tile is a fibre cement composition made by SVK Belgium.

The Stable roof has finally been rectified, with new guttering and downpipes now in place, and the stormwater works underway.

Meanwhile, the scaffolders are hard at work, carefully dismantling and relocating the scaffolding. The next stage see's the operation move across to the eastern side of the Castle, opening the way for the next and one of the most challenging parts of this enormous restoration project.

A couple of local dignitaries called in to oversee the works.

Dear friends of Iandra,

Some of you may know, and some may not, that Iandra Castle has been closed to the public as we undertake a major rectification project.

If you’re local, you may have already noticed a glimpse of the new roof beginning to take shape — but what you see from the ground is only a small part of what is happening behind the scenes.

The project is being completed in five major stages, with the fourth currently underway.

The rectification work is far more than simply repairing an old building. Iandra is a remarkable piece of history, and every part of the project requires careful consideration of the building, its materials and construction.

All works are being undertaken in accordance with strict NSW heritage requirements, ensuring that the historical integrity of the Castle is respected.

Over the coming weeks, we will begin sharing photographs from the beginning of this extraordinary project.

We’ll take you behind the walls, beneath the roof and into the hidden spaces that have remained unseen by the public for generations. We’ll expose the Castle’s bones and reveal the incredible complexity of restoring a building of this age and significance.

By sharing this project, we're hoping to provide greater insight into what it takes to preserve a place like Iandra Castle for generations to come — we’re inviting you to join the journey with us. Stay tuned!

Following a couple of wonderful Open Houses, Iandra Castle will now close for the next few months while important maintenance works occur.

At this stage, we are uncertain when our next Open Houses will take place, however we anticipate we will be welcoming visitors back in Autumn 2027.

Please continue to follow our social media pages for updates and announcements regarding future Open House dates.

A huge thank you to all our visitors, volunteers, vendors and supporters who continue to help preserve and celebrate the history of Iandra Castle.

To everyone lucky enough to visit Iandra Castle today, Sunday the 26th I hope you had a wonderful time. The weather certainly turned it on for us.

The number of visitors took us a little by surprise, as it did our vendors, but it made the day all the more special.

A big thank you to Spackys Coffee, Rotary Young for the delicious BBQ, Regional Lifestyle Magazine, and Ballina Clash Winery CCC Club for their work with Crossley and Sing Australia, which added beautifully to the atmosphere.

To all our passionate volunteers, your dedication never goes unnoticed and is always deeply appreciated.

And finally, to the 700+ visitors who came through today: thank you for the respect you showed, your interest in our heritage, and for recognising its significance. Not a scrap of rubbish was left behind, just a little dust.

We couldn’t have asked for better.
