community meetings
sport and recreation

social events
education and training
leisure activities.

You can search for a venue, check when it is available and book online.

You must make your booking at least 7 days before the date you want to use the venue.

Waikanae Beach Hall

The Waikanae Beach Community Hall will reopen for a one-off use on Sunday 13 September to host the Waikanae Beach Market.

The exception has been agreed because the alternative Council venue is unavailable until October, helping minimise disruption for stallholders.

After the market, the hall will remain temporarily closed while Council develops a Community Facilities Network Approach to better understand future community facility needs in Waikanae and across the district. This work will inform a decision on the future of the hall, expected by June 2027.

Swipe access cards

We have recently installed new access card readers at the main entrances of all Council Community Halls, with the exception of Paraparaumu College.

Hirers will need to use an activated access card to enter the building during their booked hire period. The access card will provide access through the main entrance and, where applicable, to other areas included in your booking. Existing keys for storage areas remain unchanged.

Regular hall users can collect their new access cards from any of the following locations:

Paraparaumu Service Centre (Rimu Road)
Waikanae Library, Service Centre
Ōtaki Library, Service Centre

The access card system enhances the security and privacy of our facilities by ensuring access is only available during the hirer's booked times. Users will not be able to enter a building outside of their scheduled booking.

If your swipe card is lost or damaged, please contact us as soon as possible so we can deactivate it. A replacement fee of $30 applies before a new card can be issued.

Email our bookings team if you have any questions.
