The palace was declared a state heritage monument by the Government of
Madhya Pradesh in 2005 and the state archaeology department carried out
restoration in parts.
The parking space in the campus of Benazir palace is unspecified, as we enter
through the main gate to the magnificient ground, the randomized parking has been
observed through out the space. Although the site is divided in to well specified
zones with proper connectivity to various spaces. The residential part or guest house
is totally separated from the main entrance giving the sense of isolation and privacy
to the residers.
The campus of Benazir palace have basically the remains of the rest house, the
open space for multipurpose use and a lake.
The accessibility to various parts of the unit is well managed through roads and
pedestrian walkways for the entry of 2 wheelers, 4 wheelers and pedestrians.

The facilities in the Benazir palace is unorganized as there is no proper
entrance to the site.
The entrance road is narrow and equally congested which creates
inconvenience for the visitors. Besides the main gate there is a small
temple which acts as an obstruction for the vehicles. There is no proper
setback at the front side of the rest house which has lake on the
opposite side which restricts the entrance of the heavy vehicle to the
site.
The parking in the site is truly unspecified as there is no proper space for
the parking, randomized parking has been observed.
The site is totally unmaintained as the condition of the building is worse
with broken boundary walls, jails, chajjas, balconies and other
architectural or structural elements.
