The main office of the Society and a focal point for the co-ordination of its community services. The Hall is available for a wide range of community activities and the Centre provides printing, scanning, laminating, internet access, CV and business card services as well as visitor information.

Environment

community mowing/ orchard & Beautification

The Society is dedicated to its role in making the area a nicer place to live. Its beautification work around the Granity area is easily recognised including the Corner Garden, the Community Orchard, the welcome “coal inspired” sign at the edge of town and mowing. Our amazing Society volunteers mow, plant and maintain around 4ha of reserve land which is leased from KiwiRail.

Community - Heritage Building

Granity Op Shop

The Granity Fundraising Centre building is owned by the Society but has an autonomous committee. It sells second-hand goods on behalf of residents distributing part of the revenue from these sales back to community groups and projects in the form of donations.  Check out our renovation of this heritage listed building here.
