About the venue:
The community centre has the following facilities:
- community offices
- reception/foyer
- space for early childhood activities
- Plunket clinic
- learning centre
- meeting and conference rooms
- lounge and drop-in space
- kitchen/tea stations.
The centre's design reflects the volcanic nature of the site and its location between two mountains (Maungakiekie, One
Tree Hill and Rarotonga, Mt Smart) and the Onehunga waterfront. Paths from the gates lead to a central outdoor meeting area.
Three artworks complement the design. Two gateway pieces reveal entrance-ways, one carved by Ngati Whatua's Renata
Blair relating to Maungakiekie and the other by artist Charlotte Fisher relating to Rarotonga. The third artwork is entitled
"Sky Pools" - which features a series of lights incorporated into the entrance of the community centre, facing the
Manukau Harbour.
