BWMCA Enriching Our Community

A living memorial to those who gave their lives…

In late 1945, when small towns and settlements around Australia were erecting monuments in honour of those who had fought for their country, the people of Buderim decided that they didn’t want a statue, a park or even an avenue of trees to remember those who gave their lives.

Instead, they simply resolved to keep Buderim as a place that would maintain the spirit of community that had characterised the area during the war years.

The Buderim War Memorial Community Association (BWMCA) today is a network of more than 60 affiliate organisations, clubs and associations.

It manages several properties on behalf of the community, and organises a number of events, including Australia Day Celebrations, Jazz In The Park, ANZAC & Remembrance Day Services and Christmas Carols On Buderim.
