Located at 220 Omori Road, between the Omori and Kuratau settlements (next to the fire station), the hall was built in 2006 through community funding and volunteer labour. It operates entirely on fundraising and generous donations from community members. Thanks to the dedicated committee members who manage the hall and organise its events.
