Australia New Zealand Association

What Australia New Zealand Association does

The Australia New Zealand Association (ANZA), operating as The Anza Club, is a non-profit social club and event venue located at 3 West 8th Avenue in Vancouver's Mount Pleasant neighborhood. The club was established in the 1960s (with the broader association traced to 1935) and operates a downstairs members lounge featuring a pool table, games, and dart boards, alongside a 117-capacity main-floor hall renovated in 2012 with a contemporary bar, performance stage, and green room. Membership is open to the public at $15–$18 per year, with an optional one-time $10 FOB card for direct access.

The club generates revenue through three streams: recurring membership dues, hall rentals ($500 weekday / $650 weekend for 5-hour blocks, plus $75/hour overtime and add-on sound system services), and bar sales during private rentals and regular lounge operations. It serves three primary customer segments: community members using the lounge, event organizers booking private functions (weddings, birthdays, theatre, live music), and local musicians/bands performing at recurring public programming that includes Blues Jams, Pacific Bluegrass Jams, Open Mic nights, trivia, and dance events.

The venue markets primarily through its website, Facebook page, email communications, and community partnerships with organizations such as the Pacific Bluegrass & Heritage Society and Africa Dance Vancouver. It is the recipient of the 2021 AMPLIFY BC Live Music: Operational Support Program grant through Creative BC, supporting its role as a community live music venue. The organization is privately held as a non-profit, governed by a Board of Directors with no institutional investment or parent company, and operates a single location in British Columbia, Canada.
