The garden was originally established to commemorate those from the local community who served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.   A helicopter had been placed at the site in 2012 and the park also contained a memorial. 

The Memorial Garden and Helicopter restoration was the brainchild of the late Bob McInnes, with the first stage being unveiled on 11 November 2013. Following further construction, the garden was officially opened on 25 April 2015. The garden was renamed to Bob McInnes Memorial Garden in memory of Bob’s death. Bob died on 27 March 2018.  The landscape architect was Continuum Landscape, builder was Andrew Clarke.
