The chapel is a project of Herberton’s Lions Club and RSL Sub-branch, strongly supported by the local community. Some $50,000 has been expended. Interpretive panels will be placed in the chapel in 2015 with funding provided by the Anzac Centenary Grants program. The panels will provide information on Padre White, the first Dawn Service, the First World War, and also honour those who serve. The chapel structure is set in a restful Reflection Park adjoining the town’s historic hilltop cemetery. The design is based on a World War One field tent, reminiscent of a typical tent chapel which Padre White reportedly established for the use of the troops he served.
