Inside the Community Centre:
We are no longer taking hires for the Newtown Community Centre as we are closing on 11th April. See more about our renovations here. Newtown Hall and Network Newtown are still available and we hope to have hire space in our temporary space at 2a Green Street from May 2021.
We have a variety of halls and meeting rooms available for hire by individuals, community groups, and corporate organisations at affordable rates. Our rates of hire are below. All are at the discretion of our Kaiwhakahaere / Coordinators.
Please see our Accessibility Information page if you have any access requirements, or feel free to call us on
04 389 4786 if you'd like to talk to us directly about an accessibility need.
