The Proserpine Entertainment Centre is in the final stages of construction, with final fit-outs, interiors, electrical and audio-visual installations underway.
Equipment testing and staff training will take place once construction is completed this month, weather permitting, and the building is handed back to WRC.

Proserpine Cenotaph
Soon after 25 April 2020, the marble plaques and military badge were removed and handed over to the Proserpine branch of the RSL. A new and upgraded Cenotaph has been completed ready for the 2022 ANZAC service as part of this project.
