About Green Bay Community House

Green Bay Community House is a community hall and learning hub at 1 Barron Drive in Green Bay, West Auckland. It is run by a volunteer management committee and a small paid team, and it is funded in part by the Whau Local Board and Trusts West Auckland. The house runs classes each term and events through the year, which are announced on its Facebook page. Its programmes cover playgroups, school holiday programmes, dance, te reo, fitness, karate, after-school activities and a community resilience group. Older residents have friendship clubs, knitting, art, chair yoga, quilting and mosaics. Other groups include tutored drawing, a quilting group, a sewing group, card-making and a community garden with a beehive. The office is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 2pm.

The rooms can be hired at reasonable rates for children's birthday parties, workshops, training, interviews and regular classes, and the website asks people to book early. Customers say the venue is spacious, clean and well maintained, and it has been used for birthday parties, markets, classes and holiday programmes. One family held a celebration for a newborn and said everyone had a wonderful time. Another said the communication before a party for their mother's 80th was easy and personal. Birthday parties come up most often in reviews.
