Community centres review

We’re reviewing the way our community centres operate.

Council has nine community centres across the city. They are located in Awapuni, Bunnythorpe, Highbury, Kelvin Grove, Milson, Westbrook, Rangiora, Terrace End and Ashhurst.

Our community centres provide bookable spaces for social, recreational, cultural and educational activities. The centres give people opportunities to take part in community activities, learn new skills, and to share their talents and resources with the wider community. We aim for our community centres to be affordable, easy to access, well used and to meet the needs of the community.

We’re currently reviewing the way our community centres operate and will be presenting a report, including public feedback from a recent survey, to Elected Members at the Community Committee Meeting on 21 May 2025. The report will outline the findings and recommendations from the engagement process, which will help inform decision-making on the future of the community centres.
