What is the main reason you visit Rooty Hill RSL?
News - Rooty Hill RSL
A New Beginning |
| 2010 is shaping up as an exciting year at Rooty Hill RSL, with many of our long term developments coming to fruition. These new developments will all be completed by the middle of the year, still with no debt, placing our club in an enviable position for the future and ensuring the clubs financial security. The first major change for 2010 will be within our hotel. Since it opened in 1992 it has become a landmark in the region and seen many people visit during its 18 year life, however it is now tired and with a number of new competitors in the region, simply offering the club as the main attraction to stay is no longer a major point of difference. As the current franchise agreement was coming to an end the Board was able to consider a number of Brand and refurbishment options and, after much deliberation, have decided to position the hotel at a level that far exceeds the quality of any other club in Australia. From 1st January 2010 we start the $4 million refurbishment of the Hotel to take it to the four star Novotel Sydney, Rooty Hill. The upgrade will see a considerable change in the quality of service, room furnishings and comfort on offer and add value to the precinct as a destination. The Novotel Sydney, Rooty Hill will further extend our appeal throughout New South Wales, Australia and travelling from overseas for in bound tour groups. As the year progresses there will be another important milestone in the Club’s history when our new 34 lane 2010 |
| AMF Bowling and M9 Laser Skirmish complex opens for business. This complex will be the first of its kind operated in conjunction with a club, its size and product offerings will add to our diversity and reasons to visit Rooty Hill RSL. In May, the club will turn on the first natural gas powered tri-generation plant in the club industry. At a total cost of $4 million including a $1 million 1063kW natural gas powered generator the club has taken this giant step forward to reduce carbon emissions by 50% as well as protect the business from rising energy prices and ensure blackouts are a thing of the past. While the Board, on behalf of the members and our local community, has taken the responsible position of environmental protection, the project has a sound financial benefit delivering a solid return on investment with a payback period of 7 years and a useful life of approximately 15 years. Many members will know of the development at Blacktown Olympic Park and the announcement of a new Greater Western Sydney AFL team. The Club is pleased to advise that it is developing a commercial partnership with the AFL and will be the exclusive ticketing agent for the NAB Cup game on Saturday 20th February between the Sydney Swans and Carlton. Tickets can be purchased either from the Club Shop or on our web site at www.rootyhillrsl.com.au. On matters closer to home, we are proud to advise that from 1st January 2010 a new Rooty Hill RSL staff agreement/award (Collective Agreement) has been established. This provides our staff with a new level of security and also rewards them for the improved service standards to our members and visitors. The year 2010 is a new beginning at the club and we are pleased to have now established a set of terms and conditions specific to Rooty Hill RSL staff and see this as an important and progressive step forward. We look forward to a successful 2010. |
