Tewantin - Noosa RSL & Citizens Memorial ClubPrint Page 
The club commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
The Tewantin Sub-Branch of the R.S.L. was formed in 1920. The Hall comprised the former School of Arts to which was added the building known as Dan Martin's Dance Hall. The Soldiers Memorial Hall was used as a meeting place for returned service personnel and as a meeting place for local gatherings and functions. For many years a room at the front of the Hall (left) was rented to local hairdressers. It also served as casket agency and receiving depot for dry cleaning. The building was destroyed by fire on 17 March 1967. It was rebuilt in 1970 and officially opened in September 1970 by the then Queensland Governor, Sir Alan Mansfield. Extensions to the hall were made in 1979.
In 1980 the gaming, liquor licensing and employment was branched out as the Tewantin Noosa RSL and Citizens Memorial Club. The Club gradually acquired land adjacent to the RSL Sub Branch building and built large new buildings in two stages and the memorial club was opened in 1981. Further extensions were made to the building in 1996 and 1998.
