Consent granted to demolish historic WWII Marines Hall


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.

“Recent changes in Porirua’s new District Plan may weaken the protection of heritage buildings by introducing cost as a more relevant consideration in heritage protection decisions. The hearings decision is expected in mid-February,” says Felicity.
“While Porirua City did not dispute the high heritage value of the building, its CEO Wendy Walker argued at the hearing that Porirua does not consider it an affordable priority to renovate this wooden building.
