The camp was built during 1957-1959 and was sited at Malacca in order to assist the economy of the state. It was a Commonwealth venture designed to house the 28th Commonwealth Infantry Brigade on their move from North Malaysia in 1959-1960. Funds were provided by the governments of Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand on a percentage basis.
The first units of 28th Commonwealth Infantry Brigade moved into Terendak Camp in late 1959 and by mid-1960 the camp was fully occupied, although building carried on until 1964 when the hospital was completed. <ref>Australian Government, Department of Veteran's Affair [http://www.dva.gov.au/commems_oawg/OAWG/remembering_war_dead/terendak/Pages/terendak.aspx Terendak Military Cemetery, Malaysia]</ref>

On 31 October 1971 the Brigade ceased to exist. However, its demise was painless and involved a mere change of name and location. On 1 November 1971 the Brigade became 28 ANZUK Infantry Brigade and was located on the northern side of Singapore Island.
