The metropolitan urban limits of Auckland in 2009
This is a list of suburbs in the Auckland metropolitan area, New Zealand, surrounding the Auckland City Centre . They are broadly grouped into their local board areas, and only include suburbs within the metropolitan urban limits of the Auckland urban area .
Suburbs began to develop in Auckland in the late 19th century, with the growth of tram, train and ferry services. By 1945, the towns of Onehunga , Ōtāhuhu , Avondale and New Lynn had merged into the wider Auckland urban area.[ 1]
The 1960s and 1970s saw rapid development of suburbs on the North Shore , and by the 1980s Howick , Manurewa and Papakura had become part of the Auckland urban area.[ 1] Current predictions of urban growth show new suburbs developing in northwestern Auckland near Whenuapai , and a continuous urban expansion between Papakura and Pukekohe .[ 1]
Suburbs within the metropolitan urban limits of Auckland are administered by local boards, and currently split into 17 areas: Albert-Eden ,[ 2] Devonport-Takapuna ,[ 3] Henderson-Massey ,[ 4] Hibiscus and Bays ,[ 5] Howick ,[ 6] Kaipātiki ,[ 7] Māngere-Ōtāhuhu ,[ 8] Manurewa ,[ 9] Maungakiekie-Tāmaki ,[ 10] Ōrākei ,[ 11] Ōtara-Papatoetoe ,[ 12] Puketāpapa ,[ 13] Upper Harbour ,[ 14] Waitākere Ranges ,[ 15] Waitematā [ 16] and Whau .[ 17]
Rural townships and localities outside of the metropolitan urban limits of Auckland are excluded from this list, such as Waiheke Island and the Hibiscus Coast .
