The original Marshland Hall was built in the early 1900s, funded by the community as a place for locals to come together for recreational, educational and social purposes. After sustaining extensive earthquake damage in 2010, the original hall was deemed no longer fit for purpose and was sold - leaving a gap in the community.
The new facility is designed to be a hub of activity, that brings people together and is a place where memories are just waiting to be made.
We aim to reinvigorate our Marshland community by building a new hall that recognises our history, and creates a “new history” for future generations to enjoy just as we did.

The new Marshland Community Hall is planned for the Corner of Prestons Road and Prestons Park Drive, right next to our beautiful Marshland Domain. This central location to our wider community allows a special opportunity to encourage active use and accessibility of such an important community resource. Designed to complement our natural Marshland surrounds and stand the test of time, you can view the full plans below.
