About Us
The Hataitai Community House and the Hataitai Centre (former Bowling Club) are two community-run spaces, and each of these properties has a group set up to manage it:
The Hataitai Community Recreation Trust (HCRT) is a Trust set up to look after the Hataitai Centre (former Bowling Club) and plan for its future.
The Hataitai Childcare Collective and Community House (HCCCH) manages the running of the Community House.
Even though they’re two separate groups, they work together. They meet monthly to make decisions about the Community House and Hataitai Centre together as a joint management committee.
The committees make decisions about the day-to-day running of the Hataitai Centre and Community House, and they're also working towards developing the Hataitai Centre into a community hub that will support the needs and interests of the community into the future.

Background on the Hataitai Community Recreation Trust
The Hataitai Community Recreation Trust manages the Hataitai Bowling Club on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the community.
The Trust was set up when the land and building assets of the Hataitai Bowling Club were gifted to the community by the Club members. This generous act preserves the assets for the benefit of the community. The club has been part of the Hataitai Community since 1910 and the Bowling Club wanted to ensure that it is still servicing the community in another hundred years time.
The Trust is made up of one person from each of the three organisations that developed the trust concept:
the Hataitai Bowling Club - Craig Harbour
the Hataitai Residents Association - Sonia Rafter
the Hataitai Community House - Dr Andrew Davies
