Statement of Significance
The War Memorial group on Beach Road, Parkdale is of social, historical and architectural significance at a local level. The group is of social significance as an expression of gratitude from the local community for the sacrifice of servicemen over a range of twentieth century conflicts. It is historically significant as part of the wave of memorials constructed to honour Australian servicemen after each of these conflicts. It is also of some architectural significance for the design quality of the individual memorials and for the sensitive manner in which each memorial has built upon the character of earlier memorials.
