Flinders Street Station is located on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nations.

Lovell Chen has a long association with Flinders Street Station, beginning with an investigation of paint coloursby Peter Lovell in 1979. Since then we have prepared a conservation study (1990, Allom Lovell & Associates),a conservation management plan (1999), a CMP review (2012) as part of the preparations for the Flinders Street Station Design Competition, a condition report (2015) and a heritage impact statement (2016). In 2016 we began work with Built for Development Victoria on a major project to conserve and refurbish the fabric of the huge station main building, completing the first phase in 2018. The focus was to make the building watertight, improve its structural stability and prevent deterioration of the fabric, including the fabric of the Elizabeth Street clock tower. Works included structural repairs, the installation of a new insulated roof system, the repair of copper sheet work to domes and pavilions, seismic reinforcing, a new stormwater drainage system, and brickwork, render, pressed metal and joinery repairs. The original 1910 colour scheme has been restored following further investigations by Peter Lovell and the Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation at the University of Melbourne.
