The south-facing memorial is a cement rendered tower of tapered shape and triangular in cross section, standing 12.19 metres. To accentuate the height, three tapered projecting vertical ribs extend from the base to three quarters of the way up the tower. There are two accompanying flagpoles and a door on the east side leading into the interior. The memorial is set in the centre of a two-stepped hexagonal base made with concrete and brick pavers, bounded by a low chain fence.
Pencil perspective drawings were done by Arthur Buckley Long with Allan Brayne doing the dimensions and working drawings.
In 2011, eight, black polished granite stones were erected in front of the existing tower. These stones commemorate over 3000 names of war veterans.
The memorial is situated on the north side, between Ulong and Kooyoo Streets.
