The redevelopment of a central area of Lower Hutt, NZ adjacent to the Town Hall and Hutt City i-SITE Visitor Centre, meant the previous Rotary information sign was removed by contractors and condemned to the scrap heap.

While wondering ‘where has our sign gone’, the presidents of the Hutt clubs saw the opportunity to replace the Rotary sign.

Following some close collaboration between the clubs, and several meetings with the council and signage company, a new sign has been proudly installed. 

The eye-catching modern sign, carrying the message ‘Join Leaders, Exchange Ideas, Take Action’, portrays Rotary in a vibrant way unlike the tired, wooden and rusty Rotary wheel signs that welcome visitors to many towns.

The cost of the new sign was shared between the local council and the participating Rotary clubs.
