About the community halls in Lenah Valley

Lenah Valley Community Hall

Originally located at Cornelian Bay, the Lenah Valley Community Hall was relocated to Creek Road in 1948 in a joint project by Hobart City Council and the Lenah Valley Progress Association. The hall was opened on 20 May 1948 to mark the proclamation of Lenah Valley as a suburb of Hobart.

With nightly and weekend activities, the hall continues to play an important part in the community.

Pat Murnane Memorial Hall

Built in 1951 by members of the Lenah Valley RSL club and used as the clubrooms for many years, the Pat Murnane Memorial Hall sits at the edge of bushland.

The hall was named the Pat Murnane Memorial Hall in memory of club secretary/manager, Pat Murnane who died unexpectedly of a heart attack.

Annual ANZAC Day ceremonies continue to be held at the memorial.
