The War Memorial commemorates those from the district who have served and those who have died in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved. It was originally unveiled to commemorate those from the district who served in World War One. 

The memorial is a white marble statue on a grey granite columned pedestal and is flanked on either side by two granite walls erected as a tribute to those who served in World War Two.
