The historic Bourke Police Station will get a multi-million dollar facelift with funding from the state government.

Up to seven and a half million dollars will be spent on the renovation and refurbishment of the site, which has operated as a police station since 1863. Member for Barwon Kevin Humphries said the renovations would be considerable.
