Queensland's Award Winning Currumbin RSL

Queensland Master Builders has awarded Reed's first project in Queensland, Currumbin RSL, for Best Refurbishment/Renovation $2-10 Million and Tourism and Hospitality Facilities $5-20 Million on 8th August 2007.

Currumbin-Palm Beach RSL & Services Memorial Club is a very successful club in the Gold Coast region. They are not a large Club and take pride in being "The Best Little Club in the World" as their marketing goes, even though they run 190 gaming machines.

RCA was selected on a non price criteria basis to undertake a design and construct contract to refurbish the whole of ground floor including a 500m2 extension. This extensive refurbishment totalling around the $9m mark involved the demolition of existing and construction of new sports bar and back of house areas to be used for food preparation, storage, staff amenities, offices and boardrooms. Along with a new sports bar came the extension of the adjacent gaming lounge incorporating back of house counting rooms and Keno areas.

In keeping with the anticipated patronage growth, the expansion of the existing dining area and the addition of an outdoor dining area coupled with smokers terraces were constructed to comply with the current and impending government regulations. Also newly constructed within the Club is a restaurant waiting area, new public amenities throughout incorporating two disabled toilets, new reception facilities and a complete lounge refurbishment.
This project was created to meet the Club's desire to maintain their boutique feel. They also wanted to have an interior design that was not like the usual club feel but more of a modern five star hotel. This was successfully achieved and the Club is now reaping the benefits of increased patronage and revenue.
