Altona RSL is seeking a passionate and proven food caterer to revitalise its hospitality offering and become part of a proud, community-driven institution.
Backed by a loyal membership of over 3,300 locals, this is a rare opportunity to take the reins of a high-potential venue, with expected annual food revenue in excess of $1 million. The Club also hosts over 60 functions and events each year, including milestone birthdays, anniversaries and commemorative gatherings – providing a steady additional revenue stream.
To support the chosen operator, the Club will invest in a dining room refit, delivered in collaboration with the successful proponent. We’re looking for a standout operator who can hit the ground running and deliver an offering that keeps locals coming back.
Altona RSL welcomes expressions of interest from experienced and creative hospitality professionals with a clear vision for the space. The successful proposal will:
- Respond thoughtfully to the location and Club setting
- Engage with the local community and RSL membership
- Bring energy, vision and quality to the space
- Have a track record of delivering quality food and warm, reliable service
- Deliver a value-for-money menu that appeals to a broad community
The restaurant, kitchen and function space will be available from 29 September 2025. A flexible three-year agreement (with option) is on offer, with immediate engagement available for the right operator.
If you have a vision for what this venue could become, we want to hear it. This is a genuine opportunity to shape a new chapter for Altona RSL and build something special with the support of a strong and welcoming community.
