Batman Avenue Drill Hall - Veterans Description for Public
The Batman Avenue Drill Hall was constructed in 1930s. After 1918 no new drill halls were constructed until the mid to late 1930s, when the political situation in both Europe and Asia began to deteriorate rapidly. From 1935, there was an increasing budget for defence, which was reflected in a revival of citizen forces with a commensurate building program. Drill halls built in this period were individually designed by the Commonwealth architect George Hallendal, andconstructed in red brick. During the 1960s and 70s, the Batman Avenue Drill Hall was used as an induction point for Victorian National Servicemen.
