The Rotary Club of Port Macquarie Sunrise is looking for a permanent space for their money spinner, and is asking the community to get behind them.

The money spinner is used to raise money for soup kitchens, respite care and upgrading works at Tacking Point lighthouse.

The director of club services, Pam Foye, said the popular fundraising tool needs to be in a central spot.

"We would just like to see it replaced somewhere where there's lots of people around," Mrs Foye said.

"Maybe the kids' section of a hardware store, or in a shopping centre or a supermarket."

The spinner was removed from Settlement City on May 2, Mrs Foye said.

Settlement City's centre manager Freddie Pittman said the wells had to be moved temporarily for egress requirements and the proposed storage area also did not suit due to emergency exit regulations. Mr Pittman said he believed Rotary Sunrise was interested in "continuing the relationship by taking advantage of our offer to facilitate at no charge a 'pop-up' site for them, in line with our community initiative that donates approximately $15,000 pa in free bookings to local groups".

Mrs Foye said on Friday she was not aware of a pop-up site offer.

The club's priority, Mrs Foye said, was to get permanent housing for the money spinner as soon as possible.

"It could easily go anywhere that people are shopping or just having fun."

And enjoyment is a big part of the spinner's appeal, according to Rotarian Peter Grob.

"Kids love to drop a coin in and watch it go - it's part of local life," Mr Grob said.
