Hihiaua Cultural Centre

Hihiaua Cultural Centre is a Māori cultural precinct at 56–58 Herekino Street in Whangārei, built to rebuild and reinstate Māori cultural capacity in the region — giving people, in the centre's words, a place to "live, learn, earn and play."

The centre operates as both a gallery and an event venue, hosting rotating exhibitions of Māori artists and cultural practitioners alongside cultural events and space for hire. Opening hours run Tuesday to Thursday 10am–4pm and Friday to Sunday 10am–2pm, with Mondays by appointment.

For organisations seeking a genuinely cultural venue for exhibitions, cultural briefings or functions in Whangārei, Hihiaua Cultural Centre offers hire of its gallery and event space; enquiries for centre hire and cultural programming go through the centre directly.
