Enngonia War Memorial Hall
Description
The Enngonia War Memorial Hall was built in the 1950s from galvanised iron. Outside to the left of the entrance is a memorial "courtyard", comprising of artwork on the ground, a First World War honour roll plaque attached to a low brick wall and a flagpole. The courtyard has become central to Anzac Day and Remembrance Day services in the area. Inside the memorial hall is a timber First World War honour roll, listing the same names as the version outside.
The building is currently in need of repair and maintenance, with Bourke Shire Council dedicating $60,000 in upgrades for the 2020/21 financial year.
