Management News

Yes – we want to give our members what they want!

It’s all about “us”. By this I mean the positive relationships that we enjoy with our members and community.

We - the Board, management and staff - are looking forward to gaining a greater awareness as to member’s needs in relation to what we can offer across both of our clubs alongside what we can offer the wider community.
I would like to reiterate our Chairman’s words about the upcoming club survey. Please do take the time to complete it. Your feedback is very important to us. Together, we can achieve even greater things!

In the coming months, members and visitors to the Ballina RSL River St premises will see that construction is underway on the much talked about public, riverside boardwalk.

We anticipate that the boardwalk will bring about some substantial public benefits as it will provide complete access to the river and foreshore. A continuous path will run from Kerr St to the North Wall.
Ballina RSL’s development projects are certainly symbolic of a blossoming Ballina, with the community embracing
the river as one of the town’s major assets.

Our organisation has always been committed to growing the club by understanding the changing needs of the community and taking advantage of the physical beauty of the area.
With the recent Ballina RSL ground floor renovation, it was our objective to create a leading edge hospitality venue that would contribute significantly to the enjoyment of local residents and enhance their quality of life. We also intend to play an integral role in the development of Ballina as a tourism destination through the upgrading of the surrounding grounds and waterfront of what is truly a scenic wonder.

With Christmas and the holiday season behind us, we are entering into a period of consolidation and more significant planning for the future. Importantly, we will be sharing the survey results with club members in the next edition of Ballina Club Life. These results will act as a useful guide in the processes of future club decision making.

I’m sure you’ll agree that the number and quality of upcoming entertainment and events is testament to the central role that our clubs play in providing opportunities for all across the Ballina community to ‘get together’!
