I am not sure when the majority of this building was erected, but the NSW State Archives seem to suggest that some of the current building was erected in 1909.
This would fit in with 'Trove": (

The entry to the Police Station off Old Pacific Highway has a flight of nine steps to a courtyard that has four arches facing the old highway. The actual entry has been modernised, and at January 2016 was a teal/aqua colour scheme. Wheelchair access was by a long ramp, coming in from the north (Courthouse side of the Police Station). The bottom floor has dark brown brickwork, with the upper floor looking like it might have been a more recent addition in red brickwork.
Driveways to the north and south of the Police Station give the Police access to their parking area.
