Mayor Garry Webber says: We'd love for the community to come along, join in and celebrate the opening of this fantastic new facility - a place where people can host events, connect, share ideas, collaborate and innovate.
The facility comprises a two-storey library and service centre building with a mezzanine floor of 800 square metres, and a 400 square metre community space. Its design provides a central link between Katikati's main shopping centre and Talisman Drive.
Opening The Centre - Pātuki Manawa marks a big step forward in creating a vibrant town centre which the whole Katikati community can be proud of.
On Wednesday 15 August at 5pm, the current library and service centre at 36 Main Street will close while the transition between the two buildings takes place.
The Centre - Pātuki Manawa at 21 Main Street will open to the public for normal business at 8am on Wednesday 22 August following the official opening on Tuesday 21 August.
The Katikati Library team would like to thank the Katikati Football Club and a range of volunteers for their help with moving.
