QUEENSCLIFF RECREATION RESERVE CONCRETE STRUCTURE

Location QUEENSCLIFF, QUEENSCLIFFE BOROUGH Level Heritage Inventory Site

Statement of Significance

This site is significant as it provides another aspect to the military use of the Queenscliff Foreshore reserves. Several other sites have been recorded along this stretch of coastline from Fort Queenscliff to the former Crows Nest Fort, predominantly reflecting a defense methodology from early in the 20th Century. There are few sites in this area which date from World War 2. It is not known exactly what function this structure had, but it is likely to be associated with radio communications. It is located very close to the former Crows Nest Camp/Barracks, which is now no longer present. It is important to retain what little does remain of these sites, for which there is little or no written documentation.
