We assist with funding at nine community halls, most of which are owned and operated locally.
Venue hire rates in Thames, Whitianga and Whangamata vary according to the facilities you wish to use, whether it is to be hired for a community group, private function or commercial organisation and based on casual or regular use. Many of our venues have full kitchen facilities and are very popular (so book early!).
Enquire about venues or make a booking by contacting us.
Fees
The process for setting fees and charges is through the Annual Plan, and some new fees and charges start on 1 July.
Community Halls
Community halls, on the other hand, are operated separately to us and these include the:
- Coromandel Citizens Hall
- Coroglen or Gumtown Hall
- Hahei Hall
- Cooks Beach Hall
- Opoutere Hall
- Tairua Hall
- Hikuai Hall
- Te Puru Hall
- Kuaotunu Hall.
You will need to contact operators of these halls direct to make a booking and contact details are available to assist you.
Hall operators can apply to Community Boards for grants to help with improvements. For example the Kuaotunu Hall Committee was recently awarded $750 toward the upgrade of its supper room. Community grants open in the month of July
