The Longreach RSL Sub Branch recently held an official opening to mark the completion of their redevelopment project which saw significant improvements made to six unit complexes.

Among the dignitaries in attendance were RSL Queensland State President Major General Stephen Day DSC AM, State Member for Gregory Mr Lachlan Millar MP, and Longreach Regional Council Mayor Cr Tony Rayner.

The works completed were jointly funded by the Longreach RSL Sub Branch and the State Government’s Queensland Remembers Grant Program to improve accessibility and livability for residents.

Longreach RSL Sub Branch President Mr David Wilson said the renovations would provide residents with an elevated living experience.  

“It’s been excellent to see the works completed and we are looking forward to seeing residents enjoy the new and improved exterior features,” Mr Wilson said.

“These units are set aside for veterans who are in need of a helping hand and these works will ensure the longevity of this vital offering to the community.”  

The Longreach RSL Sub Branch would like to acknowledge the contributions of Mr Joshua Adams, Ms Karen Mitchell and Mr Travis Browning for their assistance in making this project possible.   

Additionally, the work completed by JT Cox Concreting and Landscaping and Smith Bros Contracting, as well as ongoing assistance provided by Longreach Real Estate were instrumental in bringing the redevelopment to life.
