Statement of Significance
The Korumburra World War 1 Soldiers' Memorial in Coleman Park, Korumburra is a Tuscan column formed of stacked Pyrmont sandstone drums standing on a low square sandstone pedestal with radiating stub walls and bollards on a two-step plinth and linked to the pedestal with bronze chains and trims. The dedications are engraved in black on granite panels on each side of the pedestal. The column is surmounted by a bronze scrolled finial which contains a mounting for a light (now missing).
The memorial is distinguished from other similar memorials in the Shire by the scale and quality of its design.
Socially, it is an important regional focus of Anzac Day, and demonstrates the importance placed upon the erection of a suitable memorial by local communities. (Criterion G)
Aesthetically, the scale and quality of design make it the finest World War 1 memorial in the Shire. (Criterion E)
