Gosford RSL Club

What Gosford RSL Club does

Gosford RSL Club Ltd is a member-owned Registered Club operating under the NSW Registered Clubs Act 1976 at 26 Central Coast Highway, West Gosford, with roots tracing to the Gosford RSL Sub Branch established in 1924. The venue is a multi-format hospitality destination combining The Gardens restaurant (multi-cuisine: Argentinian Grill, Modern Australian, Asian Fusion, Pizzeria, café), The Grandstand sports bar (TAB, snooker, sports viewing), The Gallery events venue (five configurable rooms with AV), Sprouts indoor kids play area, an on-site gaming floor, and the 48-suite 4-star Galaxy Motel. The wholly owned Oak Haven Brewery produces an award-winning craft beer lineup including Dr Paul's Pils (two-time Gold Medal winner at the Australian International Beer Awards). Revenue is generated across eight streams — food and beverage, membership subscriptions (15% F&B discount, rewards points, badge draws), ticketed events and entertainment, motel accommodation, gaming machines, function and conference hire, brewery sales, and bingo/raffles — with all venue operations consolidated at a single physical location serving the Central Coast, NSW catchment.

The technology stack is operationally oriented rather than AI-native: a Webflex-built mobile app delivers digital membership cards, courtesy coach tracking, and monthly coupons; SevenRooms handles dining reservations; Ticketsearch and TryBooking manage event ticketing; Wufoo captures membership sign-ups; EventPro processes corporate event enquiries; FlipBuilder hosts digital brochures; and Exploren powers four on-site EV charging stations. Distribution relies on physical visitation, the membership program, the free courtesy coach covering 11 surrounding suburbs, and digital booking platforms.

The operating model is community-anchored: the 2026 Board of Directors (President Carl Rennie, Vice President Gary Young, and Directors Peter Lawley OAM, Greg Morris, Jane Mylan, Katrina Rennie, Kerry Spencer OAM) oversees a not-for-profit structure where surplus is reinvested into facilities and the ClubGRANTS program. In 2025, the club distributed A$529,440 to more than 40 local community groups and runs the Max Potential youth leadership program (30 students and 30 coaches annually since 2008), the Digital Connect seniors' program, and partnerships with We Care Connect, Wesley Mission, RSL Life Care, the Central Coast Mariners, and Little Wings Charity.
