Bundaberg Civic Centre Citizen's Memorial Portico

A memorial entrance on the west side of the building was funded by a Citizens Committee set up after World War II. £3000 was donated to build the portico and entrance, with a plaque containing the names of servicemen and women who lost their lives in the war and in wars after, erected at the portico entrance. The roof of the portico, constructed of steel and concrete, weighed 90 tons, with the only support being two 8x8 steel columns.
