On 7 February 1912 forty seven people attended a meeting at the Ballarat East Town Hall convened by Frank Penhalluriack who was very concerned about the unkempt state of the Eureka Stockade Reserve.

In 1913 a statement of 'Objects' was adopted:

a. To create a national spirit and patriotism by enlisting the sympathy of the Government and Citizens of the Commonwealth;

b. The annual celebration of the fight for liberty which took place at eureka on 03 December 1854;

c. the beautification and maintenance of the Eureka Stockade Reserve.
