Short Business Description:
Coalstoun Lakes and District Soldiers Memorial Hall is important in demonstrating the pattern of the region’s history, particularly the establishment of the Coalstoun Lakes community in a formative period of its history and the erection of memorials in memory of local men who served Australia during war.
Long Business Description:
The community initially formed around the district’s first school, which was opened in 1909; the building was also used as a public meeting place and dance hall for the community until the opening of a dedicated community hall in 1916. The hall was extended after World War I and renamed the Coalstoun Lakes and District Soldiers Memorial Hall in honour of the men who served and died in the war from the district.
