Building a Sustainable, Vibrant, Connected
Hauraki Plains Community
Connecting, Supporting, Empowering
Welcome
Welcome to the Hauraki Plains Community Hub, where our vision is to connect, support, and empower the community through shared spaces, resources, and initiatives. We are here to enhance well-being, foster collaboration, and celebrate our unique environment.
Welcome to the Hauraki Plains Community Hub
The Hauraki Plains Community Hub was established in 2020 to bring our community together—combining resources, creating opportunities, and ensuring collaboration and connection.
The concept of a community hub grew out of discussions within the Ngatea Domain User Group. Recognising the challenges faced by sports clubs and community groups—rising costs, declining memberships, stretched volunteer bases, and the increasing demands on people’s time —the group envisioned a space where clubs, organisations, and individuals could come together to share resources, reduce costs, and foster collaboration. The hub is not just about sports or recreation—it is about belonging. It is about creating a vibrant, sustainable space where everyone has the opportunity to get involved and work together for better.
In the 21st century, sports and recreation have evolved. Traditional sports are fading in popularity, while new activities emerge. People now engage in recreation in different ways—opting for pay-to-play options, short modules, and event-based activities. The hub model provides a way to adapt to these changes, offering flexibility, accessibility, and shared support to ensure the longevity of sport and recreation as cornerstones of our community.
By uniting clubs and groups under one umbrella, the hub increases access to funding, enhances participation, and creates a sense of belonging for everyone in the Hauraki Plains.
This is your hub—a place to connect, grow, and thrive. Whether you are a club looking for support, a volunteer eager to make a difference, or a resident seeking ways to get involved, the Hauraki Plains Community Hub is here for you.

Hauraki Plains Community Hub
The Hauraki Plains Community Hub (HPCH) exists to create sustainable, vibrant, social-oriented community services, club sport and recreation for residents and visitors.
Planning is well underway for Tristars Junior Triathlon 2026, and behind the scenes there’s a lot happening already.
We’re busy locking in medals and giveaways, confirming food vendors, organising marshals and volunteers, and working through all the details that help make this a fun, safe, and confidence-building event for our tamariki.
Tristars is all about getting kids active, giving them a go at swim, bike, and run in a supportive environment, and creating a great day out for families using our own backyard in the Hauraki Plains.
If you’ve got young ones aged 5–13, keep an eye on our page — tickets will be going on sale THIS WEEK, and we’ll be sharing more details over the coming weeks.
We can’t wait to bring Tristars back in March.

Making the most of Hugh Hayward Domain this summer ☀️
If you’re looking for an easy way to get outside, Hugh Hayward Domain is a great spot to spend some time this summer.
Take a walk around the pathway, bring a cricket set and use the nets, shoot some hoops, or have a kick around with a football. There’s a playground for kids, plenty of space for a picnic, and it’s all close to town and local cafés.
Right on the edge of the Domain is the Ngātea Swimming Pool as well (heated to 27 degrees). Keep an eye out in the afternoons for pool inflatables.
Our shared spaces are here to be enjoyed, whether you’re being active, catching up with friends, or just soaking up a bit of summer on the Plains. Happy Summer – hoping for sunny weather ☀️.
