Blayney’s local police station has received a major facelift, with a $2.05 million upgrade officially completed and unveiled this week. The renovation brings the 1975-built facility up to modern standards, offering improved infrastructure to support the day-to-day work of local officers.
The updated station now features a secure gun storage and cleaning room, new front security gates, an upgraded security system, a refurbished public foyer, interview and muster rooms, as well as improved staff amenities like bathrooms and kitchenette facilities.
The work began in March of 2025 and is now complete, helping to enhance the station's role in the region. It currently serves as a base for general duties officers and rural crime investigators, and also supports specialist police when needed.
Minister for Police and Counter-terrorism Yasmin Catley said the investment is part of a broader effort by the NSW government to support frontline services and improve safety across New South Wales.
“This $2 million upgrade is about giving Blayney’s police the facilities they need to do their job well and to meet the demands of modern policing,” Minister Catley said.

“Our police show up every day to protect and serve, often in challenging and unpredictable situations. The Minns Labor Government is backing them with the resources, technology and support they need to do their job and keep our communities safe.”
Minister Catley also pointed to broader reforms, including a historic pay rise, paid training for recruits, and initiatives to boost regional staffing. “Applications to join the NSW Police Force are up by 70 per cent, and we’re continuing to build momentum,” she added.
Western Region Commander, Assistant Commissioner Andrew Holland APM, welcomed the improvements.
