About Us
Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million neighbours, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
Solving real problems takes real commitment and vision. For more than 110 years, Rotary’s people of action have used their passion, energy, and intelligence to take action on sustainable projects. From literacy and peace to water and health, we are always working to better our world, and we stay committed to the end.
The Rotary Club of Coomera River has been supporting our community since 2007 in a wide range of areas, in particular those with an education or youth focus.

As we step into a new month, February reminds us of Rotary’s commitment to Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention 🕊️ We are delighted to let our community know that our very first Peace Pole is now in place in Damien Leading Park. Installed this morning. 😎 This is for you, our community! Why? As Rotary members we believe that peace is not just the absence of conflict, but the presence of understanding, conversation and purposeful service. This Peace Pole is the first of many spaces for peace that we are seeking to create for you. Where to find our Peace Pole? Follow the walking path and you will see our community Peace Pole near the playground area. The photos below will help you find it. We will formally celebrate later this month. Follow this page for details. Thank you to Heidi Unferdorben for making our peace pole. 🙏 Thank you to Naomi Fowler, Division 2, Gold Coast and the GCCC team for your support in creating the space for our Peace Pole. 👏 Together, we can build a more peaceful world 💙💛 #Coomera #oxenford #peacepolesoceania #PeacebuildingAndConflictPrevention #rotaryinternational #PeopleOfAction #ServiceAboveSelf
We have been partnering with The Meeting Place: Oxenford/Coomera Community Youth Centre for many years now - assisting with cooking classes, funding new programs, and contributing funds for their annual Christmas Hamper program. This past year thanks to Joe, Jean and Sarah our Stock Up Social program has provided support each month for so many in our community. This Christmas we combined resources and distributed over 55+ hampers and gift packs. The Meeting Place identify the recipients and also help fund and source many of the items. We are so grateful to everyone who donated, volunteered and helped create a safe and peaceful place this year. We will be back in 2026 with our Stock Up Social program. Follow us on Facebook to keep up to date with details. #coomera #oxenford #PeopleOfAction #stockupsocial
