The Mackay Memorial Services And Community Wellness Centre Welcome To All
The Mackay RSL Sub Branch has some exciting news up its sleeve with the latest announcement of The Mackay Memorial Services and Community Wellness Centre, located near Illawong Beach in South Mackay.
This community hub for all to enjoy will feature beach volleyball courts, a mini golf area, a laser tag zone, a pool, a bar and a welcoming seating area.
While the office rooms are still in need of renovation, the RSL is calling on the community for donations to help bring their vision to life. The beach volleyball courts are a crucial element in ensuring the centre's sustainability, with the ultimate goal of creating a space that serves not only veterans but the entire community.
After years of searching for the perfect location, the RSL finally found a site that ticks all the boxes and they are now positive, that “every improvement is a step towards creating a sustainable place for all to enjoy.”
The Mackay Memorial Services and Community Wellness Centre is committed to embracing the broader community, including people with disabilities, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to have fun and enjoy the facilities.
Generous donations have already been received from various foundations, including a significant contribution from an anonymous veteran.
The centre is fully fenced, offering a safe environment for families and is already becoming a popular venue, with first responders and cadet units eager to book their upcoming events.
RSL Mackay Sub Branch President Ken Higgins OAM said, “We’re very optimistic that this will be a beautiful place for us and the town to use as a go-to place, especially for young veterans with children.
“It’s somewhere where they can take their children and it’s a very safe area with heaps of active things to do.”
The RSL Mackay Sub Branch welcomes anyone interested in beach volleyball to get involved, as this sport is the heart of the centre's growth.
The aim is to make the Mackay Memorial Services and Community Wellness Centre a premier venue for beach volleyball, especially for children and sports enthusiasts.
The centre is now seeking additional sponsorships to help create a welcoming home for all.
"We’re inviting anyone who wants to contribute to our future, so we can build a sustainable place for the community," Mr Higgins said.
If you would like to donate, please contact the Mackay RSL Sub Branch directly.
