The location for the centre is adjacent to Anzac Park – 13 Anzac Road, Gate Pā – on land made available by Accessible Properties to support community outcomes. Its central position ensures easy access to schools, early childhood centres, churches, health facilities, and parks.The 500m2 building will be complemented by great outdoor spaces that will meet the needs of the community now and in the future.
The Gate Pā Community Centre will be more than just a physical building. It’s about creating a central hub where the communities of Gate Pā can gather, feel safe, welcomed, develop new friendships and learn new skills.
The community centre will be something the community can own and be proud of, and becomes part of their identity. It will support the community to enhance their own wellbeing and create a more connected and inclusive community.
Everyone will be able to use the community centre. The community centre will provide a variety of professional services and advice; community programmes and events; multi-purpose rooms; a computer/digital hub, a kitchen for food preparation, kaumatua services, and a community noticeboard.
