The Military Armoured Restoration Society (MARS) is a hands-on heritage initiative of Taskforce Veteran, operating from the Scheyville Veterans, Families & Communities Centre. MARS is dedicated to preserving Australia’s military history by restoring retired armoured and non-armoured vehicles for commemorative use and public education.
MARS restores military vehicles to working condition, giving them new life in Anzac Day parades, community events, and educational displays. These vehicles become living artefacts—tools for storytelling, remembrance, and connection.
More than a restoration project, MARS is a space where veterans apply their ADF skills, collaborate with peers, and find renewed purpose. It’s a place for mateship, craftsmanship, and contribution, where the community can engage with veterans and learn about Australia’s military legacy.
