ONEONESIX Trust

ONEONESIX Trust, formed in 2017, holds the lease for the WDC community owned building at 116 Bank Street, Whangārei.

ONEONESIX receives operational funding from DIA (Lotteries) Community Matters, Creative New Zealand, Foundation North, and SkyCity Auckland Community Trust to pay for staff to run the building, develop audience, run education programmes with local schools, mentor young theatre practitioners, incubate new community focused projects, provide a space for people to meet and talk, host a community radio station and support local artists, both emerging and established, to develop original, contemporary NZ theatre.

The trust receives amazing support from a number of local businesses who supply financial and services in kind to assist ONEONESIX. The trust also receives support from the Whangārei District Council, the owners of 116 Bank Street, by way of an annual peppercorn rental.
