Mangapai Community This public community page is to share what is happening at the Mangapai Community Hall and Domain. Yours sincerely,
- Mangapai Hall Society

Contact us to become a 'Friend of the Hall' - an annual donation to support the running of the hall. Historically Mangapai was a thriving area in the 1800's and this area was settled before Whangarei was discovered and McAllisters Road was actually considered State Highway 1. The original hall was built in 1892 but burnt down in 1900. Our current hall was built in 1903. The Mangapai Trust Board is the official owner of the hall and the immediate land it sits on, which was gifted to the community by the Crown. Today the Mangapai Hall Society which was formed in 1960's operates the hall as the local community voice and guardians of the area. The Hall Society owns the body of land surrounding the hall that bounders our neighbours. Community hall facilities are managed by volunteer committees, generally legally constituted as Incorporated Societies or Trusts. As our land is owned by a trust our hall is bound to operate as an incorporated society. Over the years, various committees have enabled our doors to remain open with some community members being involved for a number of years. Many social events have been held, different clubs/groups have used the facilities, funds raised, kitchen upgraded, equipment purchased etc. and they can be proud of their achievements and community spirit as we have an amazing facility that many have worked tireless for to provide for our Mangapai community since 1892. We hope this gives you a little information about your hall and how it needs your support in a variety of ways to ensure that this facility remains in the future. Consider :-
- Becoming a committee member
- Offer skills that could be used in the maintenance of the building
- Become a financial supporter, by being a "Friend of the Hall" for the minimal amount of $30 per family per year. Message us for a bank account number or a postal address for cheque payments.
