Strathmore Park Community Centre Transformation

In early 2022 the Strathmore Park Community Centre building closed for a major transformation. This is through a $2.1 million investment from Wellington City Council, in partnership with the Strathmore Park Community Centre Trust.

Our shabby old furniture & sound system are no longer fit for purpose. We're inviting the community to contribute to new furniture and fittings.

We’ve been on a great journey to get here. We’ve engaged local Māori on the building development and uses, and have been gifted a new name for the centre (to be announced soon).

Local artist Pokau Te Ahuru (Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Te Atiawa, Ngāruahinerangi) is designing the dramatic external window shutters for the main hall. Pokau’s work is a collaboration with Etch Architecture and is the first major public artwork in Strathmore Park. The shutters will be visible to all passing the centre.

There will be a new clinic room, kitchen and outdoor area. The hall is moving to the front of the building and has a brand new sprung floor. A place for all, with community programmes, rooms for hire (at exceptionally good rates) and important services, you are invited to join us on the last push to get the centre ready for opening in early 2023.
