Events

The Rotary Club of Sydney is honoured to host District Governor Shane Burette for his official visit on Tuesday, 1 September 2026, at the Castlereagh Boutique Hotel.

This is a pivotal event for our Club and District. Shane will present his priorities for the 2026-27 Rotary year, built around the theme of Connection → Collaboration → Growth—a framework designed to drive lasting impact across District 9675 .

Beyond his vision, Shane will address the Club on significant proposals regarding re-districting and the implications for our Club and the broader District. This is your opportunity to engage directly with District leadership, ask questions, and understand how these changes will shape our future.

All members are encouraged to attend. Your participation ensures our Club remains informed, connected, and ready to contribute to the District's direction.

Sydney is home to one of the largest consular representations of any city in the world outside New York - a powerful hub of international leadership right on our CBD doorstep. Each year, the Rotary Club of Sydney brings together our civic and diplomatic communities for our flagship Annual Consular Luncheon.

We cordially invite you to join us for a two-course lunch (including tea and coffee) celebrating civil diplomacy, shared values, and global fellowship.

What to Expect

Rather than formal lectures, the afternoon will feature a series of brief, high-level presentations from our committee chairs. You will gain a fast, clear overview of the concrete humanitarian, educational, and peacebuilding projects Sydney Rotary is driving locally, nationally, and across the globe.
