Welcome to the district Congratulations on choosing one of the city’s most wonderful locations to call home. This beautiful corner of east Auckland offers a wealth of lifestyle options in a vibrant and diverse community that prides itself on its many manmade facilities and stunning natural heritage. East Auckland is a safe and welcoming area which is home to a flourishing multi-cultural community. More than 50 per cent of people in the Howick Local Board area were born overseas – most commonly in China. In fact, recent census data shows 38.8 per cent of people in the Howick Local Board area belong to the Asian ethnic group, compared with 11.8 per cent nationally. Pacific peoples make up 4.6 per cent of the Howick Local Board area compared with 7.4 nationally, while Maori make up 5.2 per cent of the area and just under 15 per cent nationally. A further 2.2 per cent of the area identify as Middle Eastern, Latin American or African while 1.1 per cent identify as other ethnicity. The area is continuing to grow – the Howick Local Board area alone saw an increase of 13,617 people (12 per cent) in between the 2006 and 2013 census. Its growing popularity is no wonder, with unparalleled views of the beaches, estuary and countryside. It also has comprehensive public amenities which include several large shopping centres and malls, excellent sports clubs, swimming pools, libraries,

kindergartens, schools, movie theatres, community centres, arts centres and more. Keep an eye out for various events throughout the year – the Howick Village Markets, Midnight Madness, Brit and Euro Classic Car Show, an annual Anzac Day service on Stockade Hill and the always popular Howick Santa Parade which draws thousands of people each year, are just a few. Its settlers past can be explored through the Howick Historical Village where local history is brought to life through local re-enactment days. Close enough to motorways, hospitals and major transport links, yet just far enough away to relax and unwind away from the hustle and bustle of city living, it’s an unmissable opportunity. New residents are encouraged to talk to their neighbours, visit information and community centres and explore the wider area including the rural route to Beachlands and Maraetai and nearby Clevedon. Discover an array of weekend markets and watch for special events. Most of all just enjoy your new home and district – you are living in a wonderful part of Auckland.

PLACE S o F I NT E RE S T

Fascinating hive of places to visit The region’s history brings with it much character. Howick is named after the third Earl Grey, formerly Lord Howick, who was Secretary for the Colonies in the British Parliament and was responsible for the Royal New Zealand Fencible Corps immigration scheme. His family home is Howick Hall, Northumberland, England and the present Lord Howick still takes an interest in this small town named for his forbear. Howick’s Maori history and pioneering past is well documented and remnants of both form places of interest today. Some sites visitors may enjoy are: ALL SAINTS CHURCH is considered to be one of New Zealand’s outstanding early buildings. Designed by the Rev F Thatcher, it was pre-fabricated at St John’s College in Auckland and brought to Howick by sea. Completed in November 1847, it was the first building to be erected in Howick, and is now the second oldest church in New Zealand. THE GARDEN oF mEmoRIES in Uxbridge Road was land originally bequeathed to the council by the late Miss E M Nixon. Today it is used as a memorial to the Tainui Maori of the district and the early European settlers. SHAmRoCK CoTTAGE in Selwyn Road, just down from the village, was Howick’s first inn, called “The Royal Hotel”. Built in 1848, it is thought to be the second oldest building in the village, having originally been built as a “wet canteen” (liquor store) for the Fencible soldiers. The cottage was purchased in 1894 by Captain William C Daldy. He gave it its present name, after his first command, the schooner “Shamrock”. This unique building is now used as a restaurant. HowICK HISToRICAL VILLAGE. Visitors just love the chance to step back in time and experience the past at this wonderful Fencible settlement located within the boundaries of Lloyd Elsmore Park next to the Pakuranga United Rugby Club. Walk around the seven-acre site, and explore gardens and buildings from the 1840 to 1880 period. There are more than 30 original colonial buildings collected on site, including schools, a church, forge and general store. Chat to costumed staff in this living

museum, or take a break to savour home-style food and real coffee in the neighbouring cafe. The museum, cafe and shop are open 7 days from 10am to 4pm. Closed Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Good Friday and Anzac Day. mUSICK PoINT beyond Bucklands Beach on the promontory at the end of Tamaki Estuary was a Maori stronghold until 1821, when the Ngapuhi tribe from the North descended upon the district and decimated the local population. The radio station situated on the point is named after pioneer aviator Captain Edwin C Musick. The point provides spectacular views of the harbour. Fo GUANG SHAN TEmPLE offers a taste of the serene side of life and can be found on the corner of Stancombe and Chapel Rds, Botany South. As well as a place of worship, the Buddhist temple has become a hub for the entire community and a tourist attraction. It hosts many community and cultural events, has a variety of programmes ranging from a Chinese school to calligraphy and traditional folk dancing. The temple’s followers have also built up relationships with many local authorities including the police and city councils to ensure their messages reach the Asian community. A magnificent architectural feat, it is well worth a visit.

A MUST SEE TOURIST ATTRACTION

Having earned its name from a stockade erected in the nineteenth century to protect settlers, Stockade Hill hosts regular events including annual Anzac Day services (April 25) in remembrance of New Zealand’s fallen soldiers. For those settling near Botany, head to Barry Curtis Park on Chapel Road. Named after a former mayor of Manukau, the park offers a range of amenities and events. The 94 hectare park is one of New Zealand’s largest and is an ongoing development, with wetlands, sports facilities, picnic areas and a large playground and has quickly become a favourite amongst locals. For residents more inclined to the coast, Musick Point is well

the great outdoors worth a visit. Located at the tip of a peninsula, it’s a popular spot for wedding photos, fishing, picnicking or to simply stroll and observe the picturesque coastal views. Undoubtedly, Lloyd Elsmore Park, bordered by Pakuranga and Cascades Roads, is one of the best in Auckland.

Rugby, cricket, croquet, netball and hockey are just a handful of the many sports on offer at the park which also provides large open spaces for major events and family outings.

Rotary Walkway to admire the glistening views of the Tamaki Estuary all the way to Pigeon Mountain. While you’re there, head downhill to Half Moon Bay Marina for some wellearned refreshments and take in the sights and sounds. Stop off at the Bramley Drive entrance in Farm Cove for a 3D game of Snakes and Ladders – it’s popular with kids and those who are simply young at heart!

The popular Howick Historical Village is next to the park and a great family activity. Pack a picnic on a sunny day and enjoy it under the shade of one of the many trees in the vast grounds.

Park up on Somerville Rd and head off on the Mangemangeroa Valley Walkway. Don’t forget good walking shoes and a water bottle because once you catch a glimpse of the views on offer, you won’t want to double back.

Nature lovers will enjoy the range of incredible walkways dotted around the neighbourhood. Check out the Pakuranga

Another lovely spot is Murphy’s Bush with its extensive areas of lowland, native Kahikatea forest, tracks and picnic area.

Here, you’ll find a number of prominent sports clubs and facilities, including a gym, public swimming pool complex, a skate bowl and a children’s playground.

“I never weary of great churches. It is my favourite kind of mountain scenery. Mankind was never so happily inspired as when it made a cathedral,” said celebrated 19th Century novelist Robert Louis Stevenson. There is certainly no shortage of those in this neighbourhood – whatever your religion. Churches, temples and places of worship abound – Roman Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist (just five of the mainstream Christian denominations) a member of one of the inter-denominational churches, or a devotee of any other religion. New residents will love All Saints Church in Howick. Completed in November 1847, it is the second oldest church in New Zealand.

carltonpartyhire auckland east

There is no shortage of wonderful cuisine options in Howick, Pakuranga and surrounds. The beauty of our local dining scene is that there seems to be something for everyone. Eastern ethnic restaurants offer Thai, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Malaysian, Cambodian and Vietnamese cuisine. On another note, there are gorgeous flavours from the Mediterranean and European countries, such as Italy, which is time-honoured for its cuisine. Naturally, some venues offer Pacific rim menus and most Euro-style restaurants feature a good sampling of seafood, such a part of the New Zealand culture. The area boasts some great waterfront restaurants at Bucklands Beach, Eastern Beach, Cockle Bay and Half Moon Bay Marina. Importantly, there are family-friendly BYO cafes, fully licensed, upmarket venues with a touch of city chic and numerous convivial pubs which also offer entertainment. Go beachfront, or trendy street café, underground, coffee shop, takeaway or rural, there’s a place for you.

Maintenance pays Refurbishments and renovations are generally an ongoing task as a homeowner and are essential to protect a property investment. Because the home usually revolves around family needs that change with time, maintaining and adapting a home can alter with the passing of years. Rumpus rooms and swimming pools which seemed like a good idea when children were young, may no longer be required when a couple reaches retirement age. Before undertaking any major alteration, take a good look around and decide whether to do the job yourself or to employ expert help. Busy professionals may decide to employ a project manager to source products, organise consents, book trades and supervise the whole job.

Renovations

Retire the Rottweiler

Renovating an existing home is often a popular choice with locals in the area, rather than to sell and buy again as a result of the dramatic rise in house prices in recent years. Often, bathrooms and kitchens are the most important areas to update. Fortunately, the local district is well endowed with highly professional kitchen, bathroom and building companies staffed by experienced people.

Before starting a renovation, search for inspiration in magazines and pamphlets. Get several quotes and be sure each company is quoting on a level playing field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the same materials and the same quality of fixtures and fittings. Allow for extras and price rises.

Emergency care New residents will find general practitioners in easy reach of almost any suburban street. Importantly, east Auckland is also served by several afterhours clinics with East Care Accident and Medical among the best known for its 24-hour service. East Care has played an integral role in the health of its local community for more than 20 years. Formed in 1988 by a co-operative of 44 local doctors, the services have been continually expanded; in 2007 a new building opened at the rear of the original complex and accommodates East Health, a diagnostic laboratory and Dilworth Hearing. With a pharmacy, plaster room, physiotherapy clinic and dentists as well as a comprehensive specialist centre in the

original building, patients will find almost any service they need on site, meaning ease and convenience. The greater Howick and Pakuranga area is served by Middlemore Hospital near Papatoetoe, but a maternity complex, Botany Downs Maternity Unit, is located on Botany Rd next to East Care A&M and there is an ambulance station at Highland Park.

Total wellbeing Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find an abundance of health and beauty treatment opportunities in east Auckland. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special occasion or simply general upkeep, local residents will find the district offers beauty and massage therapists, hairdressers, nail technicians and various health practitioners, including acupuncturists. Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a deep cleansing facial, Thai herbal massage, traditional Chinese medicine or an express pedicure, there is no end of clinics, studios or salons to choose from. Natural health therapists offer many forms of relief from various problems and conditions, aiming to give their clients relief from distressing conditions. For some, a spa treatment, inner cleaning, hair appointment, skin rejuvenation or massage is a regular ritual not to be missed. Explore your local area and discover a wealth of professionals ready to help you look and feel your best.

pets

Help pets settle in Pets love routine and stability in their lives, so moving home can be a stressful time for them (and you!) But there are some simple steps pet owners can take to help them adjust. Check out the following tips: n Be sure to microchip. It’s a great idea to microchip pets (your vet will do this for you), and update their details on the NZ Companion Animal Register (www.animalregister. co.nz). This will help you find lost pets if they wander off from their new home. n Have everything ready. If there’s going to be a lot of disruption at your new place, consider boarding your pets in a kennel or cattery for a few days, while settling in. n Provide a refuge room. When your cats move to a new home, keep them confined indoors (with a litterbox) for at least a week. Also provide a quiet ‘refuge room’ where they can avoid the stress and noise of unpacking. n Explore slowly. Take your dog on regular walks around the new neighbourhood so it can identify smells and start

learning where this new home is located. Don’t rush things with your cats – they will explore outside when they’re ready. n Keep things familiar. Unpack your pet’s things straight away. Familiar items such as beds, bowls and toys will help them feel at home. n Be prepared. Establish yourself with your new veterinary clinic as soon as possible. Don’t wait for a medical problem to arise. Call in, have a look around, and register your pet’s details.

Shops galore at your door There’s no need to travel far for a decent shopping mall – the shopping facilities found in the Howick, Pakuranga and Botany area rival any others in New Zealand. Botany Town Centre is one of the biggest combination mall and outdoor shopping centres in Australasia. It offers a mix of chain stores, speciality boutiques and department stores. The centre also includes a Hoyts Cinema, food courts, cafes, banks, medical facilities and supermarkets with a Wednesday night market from 5:30pm. Residents will also find a welcoming village atmosphere at Howick which prides itself on its ambience and a largely owner-operated retail environment with many cafes and upmarket bars. Both a library and Uxbridge Arts & Culture are in the heart of town. Markets are a part of weekend life in Howick Village. On Saturdays the popular farmers’ market with food, produce, plants and gifts operates outside the Information Centre in Picton Street. Pakuranga Plaza is a busy, cheerful mall with an easy to access mix of shops and convenience services.

A library, community centre and Te Tuhi Centre for Arts is just a step or two away. Pakuranga Plaza encompasses a busy food court, gym and banks with a petrol station on the outer fringe. The Pakuranga Night Markets operate under The Warehouse on Saturday evenings. At Highland Park, you’ll find courtyard style shopping with library, medical facilities and postal services, along with a fire station and ambulance station just across the road. This centre is popular with retirees and shoppers who want quick, easy access with public amenities close by. The district enjoys several smaller satellite shopping centres, including Meadowlands with its supermarket and service facilities and shops and Botany South and Bishop’s Gate where there is also a Mitre 10 Mega. With shops covering everything from clothing and footwear through to food, beauty, gifts and much more, it’s hard to not find exactly what you’re looking for.
