Waverley RSL

 John MULLAHY (Glen Waverley) (12:59): I rise today with sadness to acknowledge the devastating fire that destroyed the Waverley RSL. The Waverley RSL celebrated its 75th anniversary last year. It has been a place for remembrance, for community and of care for the men and women who have served our country. Generations of veterans, families and local residents have gathered there to honour sacrifice, share stories and support one another. To see such an important community institution lost to fire has been deeply distressing across our community, but if there is one thing we know about the Waverley RSL, it is resilient. I know our community will rally behind the Waverley RSL as it rebuilds and continues its vital work supporting veterans and keeping the spirit of remembrance alive.
