Luggate Memorial Centre
Whare Mahana
Since Luggate Memorial Hall closed in 2017, we've been working closely with the Luggate and wider Upper Clutha community to plan for an innovative, future-proofed replacement community centre that will meet current and future needs of Luggate, the Upper Clutha and wider district.
This centre is a test case for future community facilities in the Queenstown Lakes District, and will be potentially the first Passive House-certified community facility here in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Luggate Community Centre - An interim solution

The Luggate Community Centre opened in November 2019 and is expected to be in use until the permanent replacement is completed in mid-2021.
The centre is a relocatable building which includes a kitchen, bathrooms and a main function space and is the perfect place for events, meetings and classes. To enquire about holding your event or class here please contact the QLDC Venues booking team:
