About this venue
With a proud history spanning more than 75 years, the Wagga RSL Club has long been one of Wagga’s leading social and community hubs. From humble beginnings with just 381 founding members, the Club has grown to serve over 34,000 members today. Established on 3 September 1947 as the Returned Sailors, Soldiers & Airmen’s Club, our original location was at 157 Baylis Street. On 24 May 1958, the Club was officially renamed the Wagga RSL Club and opened at its current site on the corner of Dobbs and Goonigul Streets. Throughout the decades, the Club has seen continual development and transformation. The first major renovations were completed in 1964 – 65, with $2.2 million invested in improvements between 1967 and 1987. In 2001, the Wagga RSL Motel was constructed, offering 46 four-and-a-half-star rooms and becoming both a valued accommodation provider in the city and a strong asset to the Club. In recent years, two neighbouring properties were acquired and renovated into four modern apartments.
