Upper Harbour Local Board

Community Organisation

The Upper Harbour Local Board includes Whenuapai and Hobsonville in the west, Paremoremo, Greenhithe, Wainoni, Albany, and Northcross and Pinehill in the east. The area contains the Paremoremo Scenic Reserve, the largest bush reserve on the North Shore and a site of ecological significance.

Upper Harbour is a rapidly growing area. The Upper Harbour Local Board area combines two areas previously under the jurisdiction of two separate councils. It is an area undergoing significant change. In its southern reaches the redevelopment of theHobsonville airbase will ultimately be home to a new primary and secondary school, new business opportunities and a new ferry terminal. The development of State Highway (SH)18 has led to significant work on planning of the Hobsonville corridor and the Hobsonville village area.
