Kedron-Wavell Services Club Inc. is a modern, three-level, multi-million dollar complex located in the vibrant Chermside precinct only 15 minutes north of Brisbane’s CBD. With ample, free off-street parking, a cosmopolitan atmosphere and elegant features, the Club is Brisbane’s premier function, entertainment and leisure destination.
Our Club is a non-profit organisation. Every dollar spent in the Club goes back into the community. Kedron Wavell Services Club has contributed more than $12 million dollars in the last ten years to community based services and projects, such as the near-by public swimming pool, Chermside Library, the Prince Charles Hospital and various affiliated sporting groups and clubs. We support various charity organisations, community welfare, and we provide training and jobs. Currently the Club employs 234 local people. The Club is living up to its reputation as Brisbane's premier entertainment destination for fun.
In the year 1966, Kedron Sub-branch of the RSL took the courageous and visionary step of applying to the Brisbane City Council for a lease of land at Chermside on which to build a Community Hall and an Ex-servicemen’s Club.
Approval for this was granted on 14 June 1968. On 10 July 1968 Kedron Sub-branch with 300 members and Wavell Sub-branch with 100 members amalgamated to use their combined resources to create an Ex-Servicemen’s Club and on 4 December 1968 the inaugural meeting of the Kedron-Wavell Services Club was held.
On 21 February 1969 the Kedron War Memorial Hall which had been deeded to Kedron Sub-branch in 1947 was sold to a then unknown fast food chain which was expending its operations into Queensland. In February 1970 the building of a public Community Hall and adjoining Club premises was commenced and opened on 18 December 1970 when the Club was licensed for business.
We respect various traditions and anniversaries as they occur. For example, as a mark of respect to comrades in arms the Club lights are turned out at 7.00pm every night and the RSL Ode is recited to all in attendance. During the Ode all in the Club are expected to stand in silence and face the Club’s symbol of the eternal flame. No other activity continues in the Club during the reciting of the Ode.
We are conveniently positioned in Chermside, 10km north of Brisbane city, in the heart of the ever expanding North Brisbane business district.
Although our address is 375 Hamilton Road, Chermside South. Qld 4032, the Club is physically located on Kittyhawk Drive (off Hamilton Rd).
The Club is situated behind the Library and adjacent to the Westfield Shopping Centre, Chermside.
