It is hall over for historic Titahi Bay Hall but council wants ideas for a memorial
What is the best way to remember Titahi Bay’s historic US Marines Hall.
The hall, situated among the Whitehouse Rd shops, was closed in 2012 when it was a deemed a public safety risk due to severe structural issues. In 2013 it was also declared an earthquake risk. In 2018 Porirua City Council unanimously voted that consent be sought for the building, built by US Marines when they camped in Titahi Bay in 1942, to be demolished. An independent hearing on this consent will be held later this year.
This consent process has been paused, however, while the council seeks feedback on what a memorial should look like, if the building is demolished.
The council is running a survey for the next two weeks - take it at the Marines Hall information page on the City Projects section of the Porirua City Council website - to find out what locals think. There will also be drop-in sessions, where you can talk to council officers and councillors outside the hall on Wednesday 23 September, 3-5pm, and on Saturday 26 September, 1.30-3.30pm.
