Hefferan Park Air Raid Shelter, World War II air raid shelter in Annerley, Australia.

Hefferan Park Air Raid Shelter is a rectangular concrete structure at 260 Annerley Road with a flat green roof, red and white painted piers, and diagonal patterned flooring. The building sits next to a playground beneath fig trees and maintains its original structural form.

The structure was built in 1942 by Brisbane City Council as part of 235 public protective structures during World War II against Japanese attacks on Australia. It formed part of the broad defense measures protecting the city and its residents.

Hefferan Park is named after William Vincent Hefferan, a Brisbane City Council alderman, on the suggestion of the Labor Party. Of the 235 public surface shelters built in Brisbane, only 21 survive and remain in council ownership, this being one of them.

The structure is easily accessible in a public park and can be viewed at any time. The setting offers plenty of space for exploring and photography, especially since the park is equipped with trees and a recreation area.

Of the 235 public surface shelters Brisbane City Council built, only 21 survive and remain council-owned; this is one of them. The programme was ordered by Premier William Forgan Smith in the Protection of Persons and Property Order No.1, gazetted on 23 December 1941, and was about 90% complete by June 1942.
