Nau mai Haere mai. The Old McDonalds (1 Cobham Court) is a pop-up shared community space, created by the community for the community, trialing new ideas and bringing people to the Porirua CBD.

You can use it for all kinds of events: exchanges, discussions, gatherings, exhibits, workshops, meetings, classes, services, or just taking time out - this space is only limited by people’s imagination.  

During September-October the space is pretty raw. It's still transforming from a building site. We recommend you come and see what it looks like before you make a proposal. 

To propose an activity, fill in the form below and we will get back to you ASAP. We will try and say yes to as many things as possible but will be ensuring your activity is safe and doesn't conflict with others - so give us as much detail as possible: https://goo.gl/EiWBdI

To see what else is on and participate, check the calendar on this page.

You can also keep tabs on (and promote your activity) through Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/udbporirua

This community-run model is inspired by 17 Tory Street, the open source community gallery in Wellington City that is also managed through Loomio.

It has been made possible by property partner Ludlum Corporation with the support of the Porirua Chamber of Commerce. It is part of Letting Space’s initiative Urban Dream Brokerage, providing space for ideas in vacant space in Porirua.

For guidelines on use of the space with love and kindness go here.
