4BU Radio Station building, Heritage radio station building in Bundaberg Central, Australia
The 4BU Radio Station building at 55 Woongarra Street features floor-to-ceiling glass windows, flat roofs, and geometric architectural elements from the 1950s period.
Built in 1957 by architect Herbert Stuart-Nairne, the station began broadcasting in 1935 and served as a communication center for troops in New Guinea during World War II.
The structure exhibits decorative ribbed ceilings, wall treatments, and distinctive textures that represent commercial architectural trends of post-war Queensland media facilities.
The former radio station building now functions as a licensed cafe and restaurant while maintaining original interior elements such as light fittings and stairwell designs.
The building combines modernist design principles with broadcasting functionality through specialized recording studios featuring acoustic treatments and original timber sunshading details.
