It has been 70 years since the Point Peron battery was rendered no longer necessary in 1945, when the threat of Japanese invasion of Australia subsided and World War II began to draw to a close.

"The 11/28th Battalion and Baldivis Scouts completed valuable work over the weekend towards recovering this neglected site so it can be enjoyed by all West Australians," Mr Edman said.
The Point Peron Rehabilitation Committee will be hosting an exhibition early next year to display the memorabilia and history that has been collected from the site.
