Ōwairaka Connecting Communities space is a project born from the need for a local space to bring our community together. We have 9 hours of funded (thank you to the Trusts) space available for community groups and activities to use free of charge

About this space

Ōwairaka Connecting Community space is located in the heart of the Ōwairaka development. It’s an initiative brought together with the help of The Trusts to deliver a free community space at the Sea scout hall for people to use to benefit other members of the Ōwairaka community. Our main purpose is to bring new and old members of our community together with a range of events and activities like repair cafes, dance and activity classes, shared meals, workshops and community gatherings.

The sea scout hall space is a medium size hall with polished wood floors. Whilst it doesn’t have heating, it has a large wood burning fire place, with supplied firewood and fire starting equipment. It is one space only, so is exclusive and private to your personal booking. It does not have it's own personal outdoor area, but is located next to a playground, and close to a basketball court. There is plenty of onsite parking, and the hall includes a fully functional kitchen, with tea and coffee making facilities and crockery to use.

Included with the hire is tea ,coffee and biscuits, wood for lighting a fire, stove and kitchen facilities, toilets, tables and chairs.

There is no charge for hiring of this facility, as long as you are providing a service for the community. This is NOT a space for commercial enterprises.

The hall is available for both regular bookings and casual bookings, both free of charge. We can also share info about your group or class through our local community page.

The community space comes with the use of tables and chairs (approx. 25 office style) and four long benches. There is plenty of crockery and cutlery in the kitchen to use. The main hall space is 9m x 12m (approx.) and has multiple power points situated in the hall.

You may put up decorations in the hall. You cannot use pins or any type of tape that may damage the hall. You are required to take all decorations down when you leave, and take them with you. Do not remove anything from the wall that belongs to other groups, and remove anything from the cupboards that are not intended for the Connecting Community Space hirers use. We do not have storage available, so you must remove all your equipment before leaving. Please note that your booking time frame includes set up and pack down time.

There is one main access area to the front into the foyer area, with another fire exit to the rear. There is no wheelchair access, however the exit to the rear of the building has fewer steps and rails either side for people who are a little unsteady on their feet. There are two separate toilets, one for males, and one for females. They are located in the foyer of the hall.

In case of fire, there is a fire hose located at the rear of the hall. Please vacate the premises, and assemble in the carpark.

The facility is located close to both Young George café and Stacked Burger Bar within a short walking distance, and public transport close by On Richardson Rd and Hendon Ave.

Thank you for booking with Ōwairaka Connecting Community Space. We will contact you with any further information you might need.
