$50M RSL CHANGES COAST CLUBLAND Super community hub under one roof
ALISON ADAMSGOSFORD RSL’s landmark new clubhouse opened to the public last month following a $50M dollar development and two years of construction.
The three-storey “super club” houses a new dining precinct with ve diverse culinary o erings, recreational spaces, a state-of-the-art conference and events centre, a sports bar, an onsite brewery and the RSL museum, all under one roof.
The project was the culmination of a collaborative partnership between the club, local contractor North Construction & Building, WMK Architecture and The APP Group.
Positioned at the north end of the existing West Gosford site, the impressive new building overlooks the Central Coast Highway, marking the gateway to Gosford and the Central Coast.
The unveiling of the new building heralds a transformative chapter for the historic RSL club, underlining its commitment to the local community while bolstering the region’s advancement and prosperity with a forward-thinking approach.
With a legacy spanning more than six decades, Gosford RSL stands as a cornerstone of the community, boasting a robust membership of more than 25,000.
Founded in the aftermath of WWII by Ernest White, a respected local and former AIF Captain, the club’s humble beginnings in 1960 saw just 60 members pooling resources to establish its inaugural premises - a modest Ford garage with corrugated iron walls, a tarred oor and no ceiling.
In the years after the clubs’ inception, membership ourished, prompting the expansion of the club into adjacent properties.
When re destroyed the clubhouse in 1973, a new venue was built on the
West Gosford site, where the club still stands today.
Over the years, ongoing upgrades and enhancements have been undertaken, including a signi cant $4.5 million renovation in 2006. Looking ahead, the club obtained approval to reconstruct on its existing site, with building beginning in May 2022 marking a new chapter in its history.
The meticulously designed new building will allow for easy refreshment, refurbishment and future alterations.
The ground oor o ers a grand entrance experience with its impressive foyer servicing both the RSL and the adjoining motel, as well as a new RSL museum.
An initiative of the Gosford RSL Sub Branch, the museum commemorates the servicemen from the region and their contributions to Australia, spanning from the Boer War(s) to more recent con icts.
On level one The Gardens o ers a dynamic dining precinct and recreation hub.
With a uid layout encompassing a bar, lounge, café, multiple dining areas, kids’ play zone, and teenage retreat,
it provides a exible and welcoming environment.
Diners can choose from ve culinary adventures including modern Australian, Asian fusion, and Argentinian grill, alongside wood- red pizzas and a café.
Helmed by executive chef Simon Quick the menus feature globally inspired signature dishes. Highlights include an Argentinian grill platter, Asian-inspired bar bites such as chilli wontons, steamed prawn gow gee and dim sum and club favourites like burgers, bangers and mash, chicken parmi and beef ragout bolognaise.
The wood- red oven will churn out classic and inventive pizzas while the signature cocktails promise to be a highlight among the beverage o erings.
On level two patrons are treated to a range of experiences, from the electrifying sports ambience of The Grandstand sports bar to the sophisticated setting of The Gallery conference and events centre.
Overlooking the Gardens terrace below, the Gallery’s pre-function space provides a stunning backdrop for drink receptions, corporate break-out sessions, expos and more.
Also housed on level two is the Oak Haven Brewery. Born in 2018 out of a vision to o er exceptional brews at an a ordable price, the brewery is a testament to the club’s commitment to providing fresh, high-quality beer for its patrons. Currently brewing six core ales and two feature ales, Oak Haven has achieved signi cant recognition, most recently at the 2023 Australian International Beer Awards, securing two gold medals and two bronze medals.
The existing RSL Club, which remained operational throughout construction, will be demolished to establish an additional 154 car parking spaces.
The club will continue to support the Gosford RSL Sub Branch and is very proud of the heritage and history connected to the institution and the work that is done to assist and support Diggers past and present.
Club CEO Russel Cooper said they are proud to be a community-owned organisation dedicated to entertaining and supporting the local community.
“Our new building makes a bold statement at the gateway to the Central Coast, providing exceptional hospitality spaces and premier conference and events facilities to entertain both locals and visitors.
“This project has not only created hundreds of jobs and injected millions into the local economy, but also led to the hiring of more than 50 new sta members.
“We’re thrilled to unveil the new Gosford RSL Club, featuring the Gardens, the Grandstand, and the Gallery.
“While our building o ers a wow factor and top-notch food and drinks, it’s our commitment to exceptional service that remains unchanged. The warm, personable, and professional service that de nes Gosford RSL will continue to be our hallmark.”

TESTAMENT TO TALENTED COMMUNITY RSL a new standard of club excellence
AFTER two years of anticipation, the new Gosford RSL Club has opened its doors to the public, revealing a landmark new clubhouse that stands as a beacon of community and architectural excellence.
Designed by WMK Architecture and constructed by local award-winning contractor North Construction & Building, this $50 million redevelopment is the newest stand-out venue for the Central Coast.
The three-storey building, located on the north end of the existing West Gosford site, overlooks the Central Coast Highway, serving as the gateway to Gosford and the broader region.
The new building’s design is fascinating, with a striking facade and distinctive porte cochere entry that draws you into the Club.
“Throughout the building tender process, it was always paramount for the board to ensure the best nished product and the best value for the expenditure of our member’s money,” said Gosford RSL Club CEO Russell Cooper.
“So we were all delighted when local builder, North Construction & Building was clearly the best.
“Their capability, price and aligned values made them our obvious choice. Since that day we’ve been a team, Gosford RSL, North, APP and WMK. A cooperative, non-adversarial, supportive team - working together to overcome challenges and deliver the best solutions.”
The Gosford RSL Redevelopment represents a significant building project for North.
“As a regional construction company founded on the Central Coast over 37 years ago, it’s very special to us to have delivered a project like the Gosford RSL Club,” North managing director Matthew Cook said.
“Not only does the development simply transform this gateway into Gosford, but as a venue doing so much for the local community and Central Coast broadly it is rewarding for us to play our part.
“Being the largest project North has delivered to date, it has enabled us to demonstrate our expertise as a trusted building partner. With our focus on local engagement and with great thanks to a team of supportive and skilled trade contractors, everyone involved should be extremely proud of what has been delivered for Gosford RSL.”
North Construction & Building was founded in 1987 and has grown to become a trusted regional construction company with an award-winning reputation for excellence.
North has always been 100 per cent employee owned. A business that genuinely cares and where relationships matter, they are known for a di erent approach.
With o ces in Tuggerah, Newcastle, Dubbo, Orange, Mudgee, Tamworth and Brisbane, North works across a diverse range of projects within the commercial, education, aged care, health, industrial, infrastructure, retail, and hospitality sectors.
In everything North does as a business, they are aiming to build trust with their trade contractors, employees, clients and in the community.
WMK Architecture principal John Andreas said by seamlessly integrating contemporary design with the vibrant coastal spirit of Gosford they have crafted more than just a building.
“It’s a dynamic gateway to the heart of this community,” Mr Andreas said.
“A diverse range of exciting food, beverage and function venues are located over two oors that all look out over a unique double-storey covered outdoor garden terrace.
“Our design aims to attract a new generation of patrons while honouring the legacy of the RSL. I am proud to say that our approach embodies both elegance and longevity, o ering an enduring addition to Gosford’s urban landscape.”
Director of Projects for WMK Architecture Belinda McHarg said as the person responsible for overseeing the delivery and construction phases she was thrilled to witness the completion of the new Gosford RSL.
