Tuncurry Memorial Hall was built as a community project, in memory of those who served and fell in World War I. The building was officially opened in September 1921. Since the opening, there have been various additions and improvements made.

During its life, the Tuncurry Memorial Hall has hosted concerts, meetings, dances and balls. It was used as a high school between about 1934 and 1938. For over fifty years, it operated as the local movie theatre. Since July 2000, the Hall has again been available for hire as a community venue for dancing, concerts, meetings, celebrations, weddings, fund-raising events, arts and crafts and other educational and recreational activities.

In 2015 the Hall’s local volunteer Managers Committee worked with the Tobwabba Elders OCAD Committee to create a new Honours Board recognising all local men who served their country in WWI. The original Honour Board had been painted directly onto the wall of the Hall and had been lost during renovations in the 1980s.

The Hall is owned by the Crown and managed by a volunteer Crown Land Managers Committee.
