Heritage Army Sheds – Rockhampton, Australia

Four Army sheds, owned by the Australian Defence Forces, were purchased from the US Army and relocated from Vietnam to the Rockhampton Army base following the Vietnam war in 1973.

They are clad with hot dip galvanised sheeting which is original.

They are now Heritage listed and ZINGA has been chosen to preserve the structures while
maintaining the original appearance.

The coating contractor was HASLIN CONTRACTING and the project was delivered in March 2024.
