Maitland Railway Precinct is of state significance as a highly significant railway location dating from the earliest phase of railway construction in NSW, with construction at Maitland beginning in 1858 only three years after completion of the first railway infrastructure in Sydney in 1855. The precinct consists of a variety of railway buildings and structures exhibiting a diverse range of railway buildings and architectural designs. The first class, station building is highly significant as a grand, first-class19th century building, highly ornamented and with a unique relationship to platform 1 through an extended awning down to the realigned and lowered line. The island platform station building and booking office also demonstrate the transition into 20th century railway architectural styles. The other buildings at the station including the signal box are significant and indicate the importance of Maitland as a commercial centre and a junction station for the private railway line to Cessnock. Maitland was also the furthest link of the Newcastle commuter rail system up until residential expansion further north and north-east in the 1980s.
