The Liston Community Hall is located at 14 Stanthorpe Street, Liston NSW 2372, in the small border community of Liston.
The hall is an established community facility and remains an important gathering place for the local community. It is managed by the Liston Hall Committee and continues to be used for meetings, celebrations, community events and other activities.
A longstanding community hall
Liston Hall has been part of the local community for generations. In November 2025, the community celebrated the centenary of the hall, with around 160 people attending a celebration featuring live music, dancing and a reunion of descendants of the original hall committee. A trivia night was also held at the hall the following weekend. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
The centenary is a good indication of the hall’s place in Liston’s history and its continuing importance to the community.
Community use
The hall continues to be used for a variety of community activities. Recent examples include the Granite Borders Landcare Committee annual general meeting, which was held at the hall in June 2026, as well as community fundraising and social events.
The hall’s annual seafood night, for example, raises money towards maintaining and improving the historic building while bringing the Liston and surrounding communities together.
The hall has also been used for community meetings and public forums, including meetings hosted by the Liston Hall Committee.
A village gathering place
Liston is a small rural community on the Queensland–New South Wales border, and the hall is closely connected with the wider district.
The hall is near Liston Park, providing an additional outdoor community space nearby. The combination of the hall and surrounding village facilities gives it a useful role as a place where local people can meet, hold events and celebrate important occasions.
Funerals and memorials
A community hall such as Liston can provide an alternative to a church or dedicated funeral chapel for a funeral or memorial gathering.
For a small rural community, using the local hall can be particularly meaningful. It is a familiar place where people have already gathered for celebrations, meetings and community occasions.
A funeral held at the hall does not need to follow a traditional format. It can simply provide somewhere for family, friends and members of the community to come together, remember someone and share time together.
