=====Opotiki, Australia=====
The corps in Opotiki, Australia was built in 1898 and located at 13 King Street and Service Lane. It was designed by [[Edward Saunders|Major Edward Saunders]]. The building is a simple barracks consisting of timber weatherboards on a timber frame construction, with a corrugated iron gabled roof. The frontage is symmetrical about the door with plain features. The main Barracks with its high stud was built with a smaller room in a lean-to at the rear for the Junior Salvationists.

The building was used for its original purpose as a meeting place for Salvationists for more than 70 years before declining numbers saw the Corps become an outpost of the [[Whakatane Australia|Whakatane Corps]] in 1972. The Opotiki Arts Society then acquired the building  and has been using it as a center for art.
