Run by Rotary Encounter Bay for the Southern Fleurieu Community
The Rotary Club of Encounter Bay has long managed the Port Elliot Market, held twice monthly at Lakala Reserve. Their mission blends community service with fundraising, supporting local artisans and charities. Over the years, the market has become a cherished fixture, reflecting the club’s enduring commitment to regional vitality and connection.
The Rotary Club of Encounter Bay actively supports the Southern Fleurieu community through its Community Grants Programme, distributing funds raised from markets and other initiatives. Grants—typically up to $1,500—are awarded to local groups delivering valuable services. Recent recipients include youth programs, indigenous initiatives, environmental projects, and support for people with disabilities.
