Tenants - Extra Facilities

Community Rooms

Some City Housing buildings have community rooms that are managed by a local committee that answers to the Wellington Housing Association of Tenants (WHAT).

Every community room is different, but all are designed to offer tenants a place to go to read, socialise with neighbours or meet with their housing representatives. Most are equipped with kitchen facilities and a lounge or meeting area.

Alcohol, drugs and excessive noise are prohibited in all community rooms.

Duncan Terrace Flats in Kilbirnie have a laundry for tenants

Community rooms are open to tenants on regular hours, established by the building's committee. They may also be reserved for private functions or meetings.

To book a community room, speak to a member of your building's committee or contact WHAT.
