Commissioners have given their consent to demolish the historic Marines Hall in Tītahi Bay. “We want something to recognise the Marines history but also the fond memories that our community have of the hall – this would be appropriate and a good result.” The hall was built by American soldiers in 1942 and used as a recreational facility. Since the 1970s it was home to the Porirua Little Theatre.
