everyone to enjoy, discover, creative and get active. The
aim of the HIP brochure is to encourage locals in the over

learning and caring Rotorua community.

You might like to check out the Quarterly Events Calendar
that offers a wide range of Rotorua events to participate
and experience.

Alternatively, club meetings and events can be
listed on rotoruanui.nz

The HIP Club and Group Directory, Quarterly Events
Calendar and Rotorua Nui website are all coordinated by
Rotorua Lakes Council to promote active and engaged
communities and enhance community wellbeing.

The HIP Club and Group Directory is broken into three
categories...
