We would love your support ⁎
The Buderim War Memorial Community Association (BWMCA) has been a cornerstone of our community since 1945, bringing together over 60 local organisations. As we celebrate our 79th anniversary, we seek your support to preserve Buderim's most cherished landmarks: the Buderim Memorial Hall and Pioneer Cottage.
Our Need
The Buderim Memorial Hall, a memorial to those who served, is celebrating its centenary. The Pioneer Cottage, a living museum built in 1882, is over 140 years old. Both of these historic buildings require ongoing maintenance to ensure they continue to serve our community for generations to come.
Our Heritage
The BWMCA was founded as a living memorial, not just a stone monument, to honour the spirit of the community that thrived during the war years. The Memorial Hall has been a hub of activity and remembrance since 1924, while the Pioneer Cottage stands as a tangible link to our past.
How Can You Help
We are seeking funds to help with the upkeep and preservation of these important community assets. Your support will ensure that the Hall and Cottage remain vibrant centers of community life and historical education.
Please donate to help us preserve Buderim's rich history and maintain the spirit of the Community
that has defined our town for generations.
