Our Community

welcome | haere mai

Warkworth Town Hall has been a centre of community life for Warkworth, Kaipara & the Matakana Coast for over 100 years.

The recently renovated hall and facilities are available for everyone in the Mahurangi community to hire. We hope to see you soon.

In the Entranceway to Warkworth Town Hall stands an octagonal memorial to the members of our local community who fought in the Great Wars.

It lists the towns and villages in our community whose men & women ‘signed up’, were all farewelled and some welcomed home – at Warkworth Town Hall.

100 years on, the residents and families of these same communities have contributed to the restoration of this important local building, through their rates and donations.

We welcome and encourage everyone in the Warkworth Area communities to now embrace and use this great facility.

It is yours.

Some useful info for us all…Auckland Council services at Alert Level 3 - please share where you see questions being asked.

A full list of Auckland Council’s services at Alert Level 3 will be published on their website (https://aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/Pages/…) after 11.59pm tonight, Tuesday 21 September.

At Alert Level 3, Auckland Council customer-facing facilities like leisure centres, community venues, customer service centres and libraries remain closed. Essential services will continue and some of our other services or facilities can resume or operate, under controlled and safe conditions. Here is a useful summary of our services – check the website for more detailed information:

• Public toilets – around 250 public toilets will be open (the 150 new sites will open over the next few days). These toilets cater for people using key transport and freight routes, and for those carrying out essential work and travel. A full list of public toilets open at Alert Level 3 will be published on OurAuckland (https://ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/tags/…;).
• Regional parks – generally, gates remain closed with pedestrian access for those whose regional park is their local park. Mountain bike and horse-riding access where permitted.
• Dog walking – consider walking your dog on a leash so you can keep a safe distance from others.
• Playgrounds, pump tracks and skate parks – all remain closed.
• Kauri Kids – the council’s early childhood centres will be open for the children of people carrying out essential work.
• Boating – boat ramps remain closed and boating is still not permitted.
• Cemeteries – funeral and tangihanga services remain limited, up to 10 people can attend a funeral, tangihanga or burial. Walk-in access to cemeteries is ok.
• Mowing and maintenance – will start to resume within the alert level restrictions and with priority placed on the upkeep of valuable assets like sports fields and high-use areas.
• Waste collection – normal kerbside collections continue and bin tags will be removed (in areas where bin tags are used).
• Transfer stations – open to the public with restricted services and cashless payment.
• Inorganic collections – these resume and rescheduling of collections postponed at Alert Level 4 is underway.
• Community recycling centres – some are open with restricted services and cashless payment.
• Regulatory services can restart site visits and inspections.

Exercising and recreation

You can exercise in your local area on your own, or with people in your household bubble. If you are exercising outside, try to keep a 2 metre distance from people who are not in your bubble. The most important thing is to stay safe and stay close to home. Go to your local park or beach, not your favourite one. You cannot stay overnight at your bach or holiday home.

Do low-risk activities so you do not need rescuing or medical care. If you are experienced you can do more activities. These include:

• surfing — if you are an experienced surfer, you can go to your local break. If you are not experienced, do not surf.
• tramping — is okay for day walks on easy trails. Remember to keep your distance from other people.
• mountain biking — is okay on easy trails if you are experienced and know the trail. Choose a trail close to home. Do not go on tracks that are grade 3 or above.
• swimming — in safe local spots. Do not swim far from shore.
• horse riding — if you are an experienced rider and it is low risk. Stay as close to home as you can.
• fishing – you can fish from a wharf or the shore, but do not cast off the rocks or fish from a boat. Boating is not allowed. Keep it local — go to your nearest fishing spot, not your favourite fishing spot. ... See MoreSee Less

You can arrange these independently, just contact us – info@warkworthtownhall.nz 

Venue Access
Access for hirers is through a code which you are given at the time of booking. If you lose your code or cannot get access there is a phone number on the door, through which you can be granted remote access. Our facilities staff can assist if all else fails!
Event Catering

You can use your own caterer or our in house caterer for events of any size.

There is also a fully-equipped kitchen available for hire, where you can arrange your own refreshments.

Alcohol Licensing

Private events where alcohol is consumed but not sold and where the event is not open to the public do not require a licence.

Public events – and where alcohol is purchased, require a temporary licence which you will need to apply for. We can help guide you through this process.

Occupational Safety & Health
Hirers are responsible for the safe running of the event they have organised and will need to appoint a Safety Rep. On this website you will find information about the OSH Requirements – and our facility co-ordinators will explain it to you in person.

This website will soon feature more information about the OSH
