THE proposed Darwin RSL Esplanade club house would be built on the current site of the Cenotaph car park, if the plans are approved by relevant development authorities.

Atop the Deckchair Cinema stairs — a popular exercise space for locals — the club house would include a cafe with indoor and outdoor dining components, opening up to the harbour and Esplanade.

The proposed RSL club house at the Cenotaph car park, highlighted in yellow, would be built about 80m from the back of the Deckchair Cinema’s’ screen.

However it would still be located in the middle of a number of already operating businesses and activated space.

It is 80m away from the back of the Deckchair Cinema’s screen, though the RSL has committed to incorporating acoustic features to “avoid any negative impact” on the cinema.
