New Te Puna Community Centre open for business
Tuesday 13 August 2024
Tokoroa East Primary School’s old library has turned a page and been given a second life as the new Te Puna Community Centre.
The building has been renovated and relocated to Maramatanga Park, where it will host an array of clubs and community groups.
The old Te Puna Community Centre was demolished in April, due to needing extensive and costly repairs to make it safe – with as much of the building recycled as possible.
A small opening ceremony was held to mark the opening of the new centre, with a karakia by Rawiri Kuka and welcome by Western Bay of Plenty Mayor James Denyer.
This refurbished building will remain on site until a decision is made about permanent facilities at the park.
