ABOUT GOLD COAST ROTARY
The Rotary Club of Gold Coast was formed on 1 July 2011 by the merger of the Rotary Clubs of Surfers Paradise Central (1977) and Gold Coast Central (1985), two clubs with a proud history of service in the local area.
Based in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast, we enjoy great fellowship at our club meetings and stage memorable fund-raising events that support The Rotary Foundation, Polio Plus and a wealth of other causes such as:
Signature Events and projects are part of our DNA - 'Bulls on the Beach' Rodeo, ROMAC Trivia Challenge, New Horizons Charity Ball, 'Bush to Beach' with McDonalds, Wounded Service Personnel holidays and commencing in 2017 - the Gold Coast Ramble !
