The Kangaroo Ground War Memorial Tower is currently closed for restoration works which are expected to be
completed by then end of this year.

One of the most significant landmarks in the Shire, the heritage listed tower was opened on Remembrance Day, 11th
November 1926. The friends group and locals are looking forward to celebrating its centenary late next year.
The project will conserve and restore the historic structure, ensuring it remains a lasting place of remembrance and
destination for our local communities and other visitors.

It is appreciated that these long-planned works are now underway, they include:

  • Rendering and stone repairs
  • Repointing between sandstone blocks
  • Timber landing restoration
  • Restoration of deteriorated windows
  • Internal painting
  • Waterproofing of the roof deck
  • Cleaning of the drainage system
