In his speech, the
Governor referred to the new building as "...a new building for the
Ambulance Brigade Centre and for the Life Saving Club at this place."
Replaced in 1956, with only an addition of a boat shed built by Arthur Scott after the Second World War, the concluding paragraph of the extensive Chronicle article is worth re-quoting in full:
"The building erected
by the Maroochydore Ambulance and Life Saving Society, with the Chamber
of Commerce, is a spacious two-storied hardwood building, 36ft. x 12ft.
and 19ft. high. On the ground floor there are four rooms--ambulance,
bathroom, reel room and large mess room--and on the top storey, reached
by a stairway, there is a lookout and a spacious room at either end. The
building had been gaily decorated with flags and palms, and inside the building was a display of some of the districts primary products.
