The River Link is a major project with three aims: to protect the Hutt from a 400 year flood, to improve the traffic flow into Lower Hutt and to re-orientate the Central Hutt to make more of its river frontage.  It involves an area from the Ewen Bridge to the Kennedy-Good Bridge.

Ride for Rotary 2024

Greetings from RID 3181!

RID 3181 organizes an International Motorcycle Ride / Drive event - Ride for Rotary, in India. The aim of the event is to promote International fellowship and exchange of Rotary views.
