Laingholm & District Citizens Association (L.D.C.A.) is an Incorporated Society whose purpose is to promote and represent the interests of residents and ratepayers in Laingholm and surrounding areas South-West of Titirangi. LDCA manages the Laingholm Community hall on the corners of Victory Road and Lookout Drive for the benefit of local residents and community organizations.

As a group, LDCA engages with local government bodies and council organizations in order to ensure that the interests and opinions of the local residents are heard and considered. LDCA is also a strong advocate for the protection of the natural and cultural environment that makes our area a unique and attractive place to live.

LDCA was formed in 1978 with the amalgamation of the Laingholm Residents and Ratepayers Association (formed possibly as early as the 1920s) and the Laingholm Central Improvement Society (formed likely just after WW2). Prior to this each organization had its own hall with the Laingholm Beach Hall (where the Western Road playground is today) being run by the Residents and Ratepayers and the Laingholm Central Hall (where the playcentre is located today) being run by the Improvement Society. The catalyst for the two groups getting together to form the LDCA was an offer by the then Waitemata City Council to make funds available for a new community hall, made on a condition that only one hall could be built to replace the two old halls.

Getting a good sized hall built on a relatively tight budget was a major achievement for the LDCA. The new hall had its first function on September 12, 1981 (the final day of the divisive Springboks tour) and was officially opened by the then Governor General Sir David Beattie. In 2013 the hall was damaged by two fires and LDCA worked hard to convince Auckland Council that it should be repaired. The repairs are scheduled to be completed towards the end of 2014.

All residents of Laingholm are automatically deemed as members of the LDCA. The membership is free of charge. All committee members donate their time voluntarily.
