The War Memorial is dedicated to those who have served in conflicts in which Australia has been involved. The First World War honour roll was added to the back of the monument on 20 April 2020.

Behind the sandstone memorial is a stone wall divided into two panels, faced with black basalt. There are three sandstone-faced pillars supporting the wall, one at each end and one in the centre. The panels display multiple bronze plaques, inscribed with the names of individual veterans.
