Seven buildings within the Eveleigh complex were listed as heritage items on the NSW Regional Environment Plan No 26 (gazetted 17 November 1995). After changes were made to the State's heritage legislation in the late 1990s the entire complex was listed on the State Heritage Register as an item of State significance (gazetted 2 April 1999). The Workshops are also listed on the SRA State Rail Section 170 Register as a heritage item of State significance and on the National Trust Register.

74. The Project was funded by the ARC's Strategic Partnerships with Industry Research and Training scheme on a dollar for dollar basis. Entitled: A Model for Change at the Eveleigh Railway Workshops Precinct: Using Social and Industrial Heritage as Tools for Urban and Community Renewal, it initially relied on support from 10 Industry Partners. The number later grew to fourteen. The project produced a video entitled, STEAM POWER and a database of employees. A heritage website is currently nearing completion.
