History of the Centre
The Kāpiti Community Centre was located over the railway lines in Paraparaumu for many years. In the 1990's, a Community Trust was established to raise funds for a new Centre to be located on Ngahina Street. The Deputy Mayor of the time, Murray Jensen, was instrumental in this process and in 1996 the building was completed. Later, the building was gifted to Council and run by an independent community organisation. In 2011, the local hapu, Te uri o te Ngarara, gifted a tipuna name to the Centre, Te Newhanga. This was significant in acknowledging the connection to local hapu and iwi, while recognising the importance of the Centre to community.
In 2018, Council became the kaitiaki of the Centre.
