The Hall was officially opened on 18th December, 1954 by the Premier – Tom Playford. Mrs Carew Reynell turned the key in the front door at the Official Opening.
The Hall remained a vibrant part of the local community, holding balls and special events regularly. In 1982 another trustee dies – Mr. Angus Woolcock. There were now, only 2 trustees left and it was becoming more evident that legal liabilities needed to be met.
Pauline Gray (City of Noarlunga) attended committee meetings and supported the committee in making the difficult decision to have the Council manage the facility.
In 1984, the City of Noarlunga became the trustee of the land and the buildings and an Incorporated Management Committee was formed in 1985.
“The Neighbourhood Centre administration operated from the cottage” (now known as The Vine Street Centre) and the hall quickly became used every night of the week.
