Inside the Community Centre:

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. We offer special rates to not-for-profit groups or individuals working for the benefit of local community members. Please talk to us if you think you might qualify.

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. 

Please note, the Community Centre has planned renovations - we are currently taking bookings until April 11th 2021. See more about our renovations here.

Kitchen

Hire of all rooms includes use of common bathroom and kitchen facilities.

The kitchen is equipped with two gas ovens, a fridge, a hot water zip, a microwave, and a dishwasher.
We have a good amount of crockery and cutlery available for use, but please check in if we have sufficient for your event!




The Community Centre is in a residential zone so we have a noise curfew of 10:30pm for use of all rooms.
In some instances we require a bond for hire.
