Our club was chartered in May 1982. This, our 40th anniversary year, is an opportunity to reflect on, and celebrate, the Club’s many activities and achievements over the years. Here is another such achievement.
1999 – 2007: Zealandia
A cornerstone of forest regeneration in Wellington, this fenced wildlife sanctuary in Karori is centred on what was once the city’s water reservoir. Beginning in 1999, Karori Rotary initiated a fundraising project to sell the naming rights for fence posts for the 8.6-kilometre, predator-proof fence - the first stage towards restoring an area of native forest and biodiversity.
This fence post initiative raised nearly $300,000.
Then, in 2003, our Club, in collaboration with all the other Rotary clubs in Wellington, embarked on the ambitious Discovery Area Project, an interpretation and display of the old upper dam construction site, which had been a hive of activity from its inception in 1906. The Discovery Area incorporates historic relics such as rails, bogeys and skips, a replica single-men’s hut, interpretation signage, and a gantry tower, similar to that used during dam construction, which now provides commanding views over much of the sanctuary.
Rotary raised close to $200,000 to meet the total cost of the Discovery Area, which was completed in 2007.
One of our major fundraising efforts was the very successful annual “Gutbuster” race around the boundary fence, for both runners and walkers, which ran for a number of years. Many club members participated and others helped manage the event, both in planning and ‘on the day’. These races also contributed funds for the development of an education centre for school groups.

Does any one have any spare or offcut underfloor insulation material to sell or give away? We are renting out our own house but have been told by the property manager that the storage of laundry room on level one need add insulation to be compliance with the new tendency law....i dont think it is actually a subfloor at all as it is the floor between level one and two. Its only around 2 square metre and hardly any professional installer will be interested in the job so we plan to do it ourselves but have difficulty in getting the insulation material. We prefer polyester blanket (mammoth or greenstuff) to match the rest of the house. Any help or advise?

this gate works well over stairs, doorways, and has an extension so can fence an open french door.
