About Us

The New Woodend Star is the community newspaper of Woodend & district, it is an initiative of the Rotary Club of Woodend.
The first edition was printed in June 1997 and it owes its success to the dedicated body of Rotarians and volunteers who assist in its production and distribution.
 
The New Woodend Star provides an opportunity for the community to be heard by presenting articles that are interesting, relevant and beneficial to the community.  It provides affordable and effective advertising for our local businesses and tradespeople which helps ensure its sustainability.

By the community, for the community.

The New Woodend Star is managed by a standing committee consisting of Rotarians and community members.
