“Previously known as the Kelvin Grove Residents’ Association (1987–2006), and before that, the Kelvin Grove Progressive Association (1975–1987)—originally formed in 1967. The group also traces its roots back to the historic Kelvin Grove Social Hall Society, which served the community from 1901 to 1984.”
The Kelvin Grove Community Association (KGCA) is a registered not-for-profit society dedicated to enhancing the well-being of the Kelvin Grove suburb and its residents. Operated by a team of local volunteers, the association generates funds primarily through the hire of the Kelvin Grove Community Centre, using these resources to support community initiatives.
Affectionately known as the Kelvin Grove Hall (KG Hall), the facility is owned by the Palmerston North City Council and leased to KGCA. While the council retains ownership, the association manages and maintains the hall, ensuring all profits from its operation are reinvested into its upkeep and distributed through community grants to benefit local residents.
