The Rotaract Club of Central Lakes was formally chartered on 14 March 2024.
 
12 of the 17 signed up members were inducted and their executive officers were sworn in to office.
 
Their foundation Directors are:
President - Jess Pauling (Queenstown)
Secretary - Roselle O’Brien (Queenstown)
Treasurer - Adam Stobo-Wright (Cromwell)
 
Held at the Holiday Inn in Frankton Road, the event was well supported by Rotarians from the supporting Clubs - Queenstown, Wanaka, Alexandra and Cromwell. District 9999 representatives also attended, notably District Governor-Elect Dave McKissock of Invercargill.
 
The Directors are now working on their calendar and will be contacting Clubs to arrange a meeting visit.  They will offer to help with club projects and fundraisers as well as establishing their direction and projects of their own.
