BEERWAH RSL members say they are at their “wits end” after their sub-branch building has been vandalised multiple times since December.
Just before Christmas, the fence was pulled out, leaving the RSL scrambling to repair it before the holiday season.
Since then, the fence has been pulled out of the ground multiple times.
Beerwah RSL president, John Nisbett, said since mid February, people have been noticed loitering around the RSL, and the gate latch has recently been broken.
“We’ve got to keep replacing and repairing the damage or clean the building off all the time,” he said.
Despite the recent spate of vandalism, John said the sub-branch was hoping to get grant funding to renovate the RSL building.
“We aren’t going to fix the fence and gate yet until we repaint the outside of the building,” he said.
“We’ve also got some liner to put down inside and fix up the ceilings.
“We’ve got a bit of work to do so it’ll take us a while to complete.”
John said he was keen to see the renovations and repairs finished on the RSL building.
“I’m very excited really as I’m the president, but we haven’t really sat down and discussed anything yet until we get the funding,” he said.
“The last quotes we got late last year were going to cost around $40,000.”
