RSL WA have revealed plans to expand the Busselton subbranch and are looking at a range of options that would support veteran services and increase revenue.
While the plans are still in their infancy, some options being considered are independent living and an aged care facility at the current site on Rosemary Drive.
It is expected the multi million dollar redevelopment would take three to four years to complete.
RSL WA chief executive officer John McCourt said it was going to be the one of the first exciting regional veteran hubs.
"We have focused on Busselton because of its high population of retired and newer veterans," he said.
"When and if Busselton works it will be a good template for elsewhere."
Mr McCourt said one of the reasons they were looking at redeveloping the site was so the Busselton subbranch and its advocacy and welfare volunteers could have new and bigger premises.
In order to have a new facility, Mr McCourt said the reality was they needed enough return from their investment to look after veterans into the future.
"We are also talking to other businesses in town to locate the advocacy and welfare services at another location," he said.
"At the end of the day what we will have to do, obviously nothing will happen until close liaision with the subbranch, is have them operating somewhere else while we redevelop the site.
"Currently we are talking with the council about the various options and what is best for members will guide us.
"The membership of the subbranch is strongly in favour otherwise we would not do it."
The Mail understands the RSL WA and Busselton subbranch will meet in the coming week to discuss the development before the RSL meets with the city in the coming month to discuss their plans.
As part of the redevelopment, the RSL WA have been in discussions with adjoining landowners to discuss a joint venture or lease arrangement to expand their facilities.
They have also approached the city about incorporating Lot 100 on Southern Drive (which is owned by the city) into its development.
City officers stated while they had not yet agreed to anything, there was an opportunity for the city to sell the land or enter into a joint venture with the RSL and adjoining landowners.
At next week's council meeting, councillors will be asked to vote on rezoning lots on Rosemary Drive, Southern Drive and Causeway Road from residential and tourism to special use.
Rezoning the land would permit the RSL WA to develop an aged persons' home, club premises, grouped and multiple dwellings, consulting rooms, a residential building, a medical centre and office.
If council agree with the officer's recommendation to approve rezoning the land, the city would then initiate the process to advertise the amendments to the public.
