The Rotary Club of The Hills-Kellyville

The Rotary Club of The Hills-Kellyville is an active and enthusiastic Club which was formed from the amalgamation of the Rotary Clubs of Baulkham Hills, Kellyville (2009) and Winston Hills (2015).

Our Club is involved in many activities at both a local and international level covering aspects such as community service, international service, vocational service and youth.

Some of our current and recent projects are The Sydney Hills Garden Competition, Jazz at the Pines , Christmas Tree Sales, Writing Competition for local schools, Australia Day ceremony, sponsorship of the Bourke Public School breakfast programme, Youth Exchange students, Rotary Youth Leadership, numerous partnership projects in India and Sri Lanka and supporting local causes such as North West Disability Services and the Children’s Hospital at Westmead.

Of course while our projects do provide good fellowship as well as good service we also also like to have fun and fellowship at our social events.

If you would like to give something back to the community and enjoy fellowship and fun with like minded individuals you are always welcome at one of our meetings.

Proposed Baulkham Hills Community Garden

A new garden for you in the Garden Shire

he Rotary Club of The Hills-Kellyville is proposing the establishment of a Community Garden at Conie Avenue Reserve Baulkham Hills.

Community gardens have been shown to contribute to a better and healthier lifestyle by:

providing fresh, safe, affordable herbs, fruits and vegetables
helping to relieve stress and to increase a sense of wellness
getting people active to help improve their overall physical health
providing social opportunities that build a sense of community and belonging
giving people an opportunity to learn and share knowledge on gardening, nature, and cooking
providing an inclusive meeting area where interested people of all ages and cultural backgrounds can come together to share experiences

A grant under the Federal Stronger Communities Programme is available to establish the Community Garden and we have the support of The Hills Shire Council.

We need to hear from the community about what you want and how to best make it happen.

To move this initiative forward, The Rotary Club of The Hills-Kellyville will hold a public interest meeting seeking community support for the project.

The meeting will be on 26th February at 7.30pm at North West Disability Services, off Conie Ave Baulkham Hills. No RSVP is required. Mr Graeme Ross from Channel 7’s Better Homes and Gardens has indicated he will be there, as will the Hills Shire Mayor, Dr Michelle Byrne as well as other speakers.
