The works will enable the RSL to complete the remaining office and function renovations and install projectors and office equipment into their hire rooms. The grant would be split in half by the two governments under the Launceston RSL plan.

The group is holding a luncheon on Wednesday with a variety of state politicians from all major parties, including the likes of Michael Ferguson, Michelle O'Byrne and Peter Whish-Wilson, as well as community group members to discuss potential funding.

The rooms have proved popular with community groups, which hire the facilities for their general activities and meetings at the central Launceston location.

It is this popularity with community groups that Launceston RSL secretary Peter Williams will enable the organisation to receive the required funding.

"Everything that we've organised is fundamentally good to go, all we're waiting for is funding," he said.

Mr Williams said that the RSL provided extensive community benefit which went far beyond what the title suggested.

"This organisation isn't just the RSL, it is a whole bunch of other people ...it will be benefit to a number of community groups," he said.

"It will also give us another revenue stream as we can rent out the rooms and [it is hard] to find conference rooms here in Launceston."
