A Hall for the Community – By the Community

The Waiau Pa Community Hall is a place for locals to connect, celebrate, and create lasting memories. Managed by a dedicated committee, the hall is available for regular activities, community events, and private functions. Whether you’re looking to join a group, host an event, or simply be part of the local community, the hall welcomes you.

Our History

Over a Century of Community Spirit

Since its establishment around 1915, the Waiau Pa Community Hall has been a cornerstone of the local Waiau Pa and Clarks Beach communities. The hall has hosted everything from dances and club meetings to social gatherings and community events.

In the 1930s, the committee featured well-known local families, including the Millens, Clarks, Mathesons, Irwins, McLarins, and Robinsons many of whom still reside in the area today. The hall was officially reopened in 1961 by Chairman Sid Owens, marking a new era of community use.

For over 100 years, the Waiau Pa Community hall has remained a cherished gathering place, upheld by local committees and residents dedicated to preserving its legacy.

Beyond these activities, the hall plays a central role in the annual ANZAC Day commemoration, serving as the community’s starting and finishing point for this important event.
