Sub Branch History

The Centenary Suburbs RSL Sub-branch was formed in July 2000 with 21 members. The first formal general meeting was held on 31st August 2000. The Sub-branch currently has an active and friendly membership of around 120. The 2011 Brisbane River floods completely submerged the Sub-Branch offices. Members worked quickly to evacuate all electronic equipment, documentation and furnishings to Council premises out of flood reach before the inundation.

Memorial Gardens

The Sub-branch works closely with the Brisbane City Council and the local Ward Councillor in discharging its responsibilities as custodian of the Centenary Suburbs War Memorial Gardens, the centre pieces of which are the War Memorial Stone, a “Courage Track” commemorating the campaigns in which Australian Defence Force and other Peace Keeping personnel have served, and a “Wall of Remembrance” in honour of deceased ex-service and other eligible personnel who resided in the Centenary Suburbs. Lights highlight the major elements of the memorial at night and the Australian flag is flown 24 hours per day.

The Sub-branch administers applications for the placement of memorial plaques upon the Centenary Suburbs War Memorial Gardens Wall of Remembrance. Full details of eligibility criteria are available from the Sub-branch Secretary.
