Our History
The Buller Mining Districts Community Centre Society has long and proud history in Northern Buller. First incorporated almost 80 years ago, its members and volunteers helped to develop a huge array of community facilities in the area, many built by volunteers from mining families. The local miners union were staunch supporters of the organisation with a penny in every pound of their wages donated towards funding the Society's activities and projects. A recognised service provider in the area, the Society owns two community centres servicing Ngakawau and Waimangaroa as well as an amazing (now rare) public swimming pool in Hector which has recently been upgraded and is open during the summer months.
