Hataitai Community House is a community-run space at 112 Waipapa Road, Hataitai, Wellington, near the Waipapa Road playground. It works alongside the Hataitai Centre, which is also community-run, and both can be hired for private events. The houses host classes and events run by the community committee, playgroups, a monthly senior's morning tea that anyone can attend, and a Menzshed. A fruit and vegetable co-op provides fresh, seasonal produce each week at low prices, and a community garden grows vegetables to share. A Pātaka Kai has opened, and there is a small goods recycling drop-off, open 10am to 2pm from Tuesday to Friday.
The house also has a free period products basket, where anyone can take what they need with no judgement. The Hataitai Residents' Association meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7.30pm at the Hataitai Centre. The community is working on a redevelopment of the former bowling club building, which it has been given, and it asks for help from tradesmen, gardeners and handy people with the building's maintenance. Its quarterly newsletter, Hataitai Happenings, keeps residents up to date. For a Hataitai resident who wants to join in local community work or hire a space for a gathering, the house is the place to start.
