Nundah Air Raid Shelter, World War II defense structure in Nundah, Australia.
The concrete rectangular shelter on Sandgate Road features thick walls, heavy floor slabs, and original ventilation elements from its wartime construction period.
Built in 1942 by Brisbane City Council under architect F.G. Costello's supervision, this shelter emerged as part of 235 protective structures following Pearl Harbor attacks.
The structure represents Queensland's response to civilian protection needs during World War II, leading to a network of shelters across Brisbane.
Modern visitors can observe the shelter's transformation into public restrooms while maintaining its original architectural elements and structural integrity.
This shelter stands among only 21 remaining wartime protective structures in Brisbane, demonstrating the adaptability of military architecture for civilian use.
