    Stawell Drill Hall - Veterans Description for Public

    The Stawell Drill Hall, on Sloane Street, dates from the First World War. The expansion of the armed forces from 1911 and then the outbreak of the First World War, resulted in a large number of drill halls being constructed by the Commonwealth until 1918. During this period, drill halls were constructed to only two basic designs and varied only in size. Except for the naval drill halls (Port Melbourne, in brick, and Western Port HMAS Cerberus, in timber) all of the drill halls were constructed in corrugated iron. The Stawell site was purchased on May 15th, 1915 and is still used for defence purposes.
