Veterans of Australia (VOA), after receiving a Grant from the Community Benefit Fund and with FCRC support, is able to restore the Old Pialba Railway Station known as the Veterans Advice and Social Centre (VA&SC) to its former glory.

The VA&SC located in Freedom Park, Pialba next to the Cenotaph is currently leased by Veterans of Australia (VOA) from FCRC. VOA provides welfare and compensation services to the Veteran Community also, the building is utilised as a drop in centre where all current serving and veterans are welcome. The funds provided allowed the upgrade and restoration of the building to its former glory with a repaint, new guttering, roller doors, awnings and garden shed replaced thankyou to local trades- Steve Dwyer painting, Show it Off Home Improvements, The Sheddery, Phill and Tim for guttering and gutter mesh, and Dave Andrews
The restoration is almost complete with the building looking fantastic thanks to project manager John Christensen.
