Formed in Australia in 1916, the RSL was borne out of the camaraderie, concern and mateship shown by diggers for the welfare of their mates during and after the First World War. 

RSL clubs quickly sprang up in all states.  By the 1950’s, almost every city, town and suburb had an RSL club.  They were a place where returned soldiers could meet and relax.  And the Clubs continue to be the custodians of the ANZAC Day commemoration ceremonies.

In recent times, RSLs have looked deeper to find reasons for the broader community to remain engaged year round.  Many are reinventing themselves as a foodie’s haven, bringing contemporary new dining options that attract discerning foodies from far and wide.

Drawing on 25 years+ of experience in the club sector and construction, Rohrig carefully staged the works to ensure the club remained operational during construction and in no way impeded the growth of club membership.  The fact that Club Kawana’s membership base actually grew during construction is testament to this.
