The town of Kawerau was founded in 1953 to service the Tasman Pulp and Paper Mill. Since then the town has expanded and diversified into an attractive and vibrant town.
The Rotary Club of Kawerau was chartered in 1961 and has worked closely with the Kawerau Council in the development of the town.




As well as Community projects the Club is also heavily involved in many Rotary International initiatives, particularly those involving Youth, such as the International Youth Exchange, Summer Science Schools, RYLA and Outward Bound.
