Cockle Bay

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 man-made 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,

Settling In 2019-20

Mangemangeroa 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.

pl a c e s of interest

Fascinating 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,

Howick Historical Village 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. All Saints Church

Discover the great outdoors You’ll find a range of stunning parks around your new home. Head to the top of Stockade Hill for impressive views of Howick’s coastline, the harbour and islands and main road, Picton Street. 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 residents more inclined to the coast, Musick Point is well 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. 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.

Lloyd Elsmore Park Rugby, cricket, croquet, netball, BMX 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.

HEALTH

Emergency care New residents will find general practitioners in easy reach of almost any suburban street. Importantly, east Auckland is also served by several after-hours 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.

We all know the importance of regular eye testing, especially if there is a family history of poor eyesight or eye disease. In the industrial workplace, eyes at risk can be protected by wearing safety glasses and, remember, driving is impossible if eyesight fails. Holding a driver’s licence is dependent on good vision and motorists are advised to have an eyesight test every two years.

• Prescriptions • Medicines • Vitamins • Hair Care • Cosmetics • Passport Photos Specialists in: Medicine management compliance packaging

Failing eyesight or other severe eyesight problems may be prevented or rectified by consulting an optometrist regularly. While biennial eye testing is recommended, there are times when more frequent testing may be required.

我們有能說華語及粵語的藥劑師為您提供服務

These include during a child’s growing years when the eye is also growing; in middle life when the focusing system begins to weaken; and in later years when eye health problems begin to occur such as cataracts and glaucoma.

78 Vincent St, Howick. Phone 534 8262.

Regular eye checks can help preserve eyesight but injuries can still occur. The eye is extremely sensitive and it is easy to aggravate an injury. In almost every instance proper medical aid is advised.

Dental health The impact of sugary foods and drinks on our oral health has been highlighted many times – most people know how these can accelerate tooth decay especially when teeth are not given regular attention. Yet, it is also acknowledged that many folk fail to make dental and oral health a priority and subsequently can suffer unpleasant consequences. Fortunately, there is an abundance of local dentists and orthodontists making access to proper dental care easy. Their job is to help clients maintain healthy teeth (and gums) and keep them functioning for a lifetime. The first step is to have a check which will detect decayed and/or cracked teeth or fillings and will also cover jaw joints, gum disease, wisdom teeth, bite and medications that affect your teeth. Diet and nutrition are other aspects of a dental check with X-rays showing what’s happening in the bone around the teeth. If your dental care has been neglected don’t waste a minute; organise a dental visit and, once any initial work has been completed, keep checks regular. This will likely save a lot of heart-ache – or should that be toothache – in the future. After all, prevention is better than cure!

Ti Rakau OMS (TROMS) is a Oral Surgery practice purpose-built to provide complex oral and dentofacial surgery to the region. Rakesh is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, dual qualiﬁed in both dentistry and medicine. TROMS believes in high quality service, excellent surgical outcomes and a great patient experience. We also believe this is the combined result of highly trained specialists, advanced technical equipment/materials and good communication with patients as well as their referring dentists or doctors.

Checks essential

With our many beautiful beaches and the spectacular Hauraki Gulf on the doorstep, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising that much of the east Auckland population enjoys watersports and outdoor activities. In summer, the beaches are crowded and even in winter, they are home to those who love to walk the shoreline. New Zealand has one of the highest melanoma death rates in the world. More than 2000 people are diagnosed annually with the disease and about 200 die from melanoma every year. Malignant melanoma is potentially fatal but early detection can avoid tragic outcomes with surgical removal of lesions being both simple and, in most cases, curative. Everyone needs to â&#x20AC;&#x153;cover upâ&#x20AC;?.

Eating out 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.

RETAIL

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, supermarket, post shop 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, supermarket 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 DIY store. 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.

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.

leisure time, they may enjoy sourcing their own materials. Whether recreating space for a new use, extending a home to accommodate a growing family, tackling landscaping or just revamping the interior, it pays to have a sound plan. Compare quotes and ask for recommendations when new to an area.

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.

Fishing is a major past time in the area with a number of fishing competitions held throughout the year.

Moorings and a hardstand at Half Moon Bay Marina and Pine Harbour Marina plus associated businesses help make life easy for boat and yacht owners. There is a passenger ferry service to the city and to Waiheke from both Pine Harbour and Half Moon Bay marinas. A vehicular ferry to Waiheke Island also operates from Half Moon Bay.

CHURCHES

Spiritual life “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. The Fo Guang Shan Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in the country. Designed in the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty, it took seven years to build and now stands tall on Stancombe Rd in Flat Bush. Featuring a large Buddha statue and a two-tonne bell, the mission of the temple is to promote Humanistic Buddhism but it is also open to and intended to benefit non-Buddhists.

With a number of walking tracks in the area, there’s always an opportunity for a change of scenery. A popular walking track runs along the Tamaki Estuary, and there is a boardwalk connecting Half Moon Bay with Bucklands Beach. But there’s plenty of choice for those who like a bit more structure to their fitness routines. For fitness fanatics, Howick Ward is well-equipped with a variety of gyms to suit all fitness needs. As well as an array of privately-owned gyms, the council-run Howick Recreation Centre and Lloyd Elsmore Pool complex also contain their own fitness centres. In addition to a complete gym at Lloyd Elsmore pool, aqua aerobics and formal swimming lanes are also offered. Senior residents or those after a lower-impact, lower-intensity activity should check out the local clubs and RSAs.
