The War Memorial commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.

The short rectangular pillar with a gold lettered engraved plaque has been relocated from Memorial Place Belmont to Cullen Park Belmont and has been upgraded. The plaque which was located on the pillar and unveiled on Anzac Day 1947 forms part of the new memorial. The new memorial has plaques for Korea, Malaya, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan as well as insignia badges.
