The
Taradale Town Hall |
|
In 1968 when the Taradale Borough Council
amalgamated with Napier City, the City Council took
responsibility for the running of the local town hall. However, in 1982, the
Council approached the Taradale Rotary Club with the proposition that the
Club take over the administration of the building and,
if possible, run it at a profit and so benefit the club's
funds. This proposition was agreed to on a trial basis, and in April
1983, Arthur Stafford became the supervisor of the
Town Hall. These duties are now provided by a custodian.

After years of negotiation the Club obtained
a formal lease in 1991.
The objective of the Town Hall committee is to see the use of the hall
increased, and at the same time to improve the
facilities for the benefit of the local community. To this end the
committee has succeeded in increasing patronage, and the club, with the
assistance of the City Council, has greatly improved
facilities. Extensive remodeling and refurbishing of the
lower hall were completed by July 1992. The upper lounge was extensively
refurbished in early 1996.
