LOCATION - NORTH SHORE CITY.
North Shore City boasts a lifestyle and environment that set it apart as a destination for homemakers, pleasure-seekers and business people. The natural advantages of a warm climate, beautiful beaches, and spectacular scenery contribute to the popularity of one of the most vibrant and fastest growing regions in New Zealand. A stable and educated workforce, meanwhile, make it a prime location for commercial and industrial development with 198,900 residents living within an area of approximately 12,979 hectares, it is the country?s fourth largest city. Surrounded by sea, the city has an unbroken 148km urban coastline - the longest in the country. Residents can enjoy an endless range of aquatic activities - or venture inland, where there are more than 400 parks and walkways through native bush reserves. This is a city where growth and development is carefully managed and protection of natural beauty and a clean environment is a prime consideration. North Shore City is made up of three wards (Northern, Central and Harbour), each ward comprising two communities. These communities include historic Birkenhead/Northcote and Devonport, with their turn-of-the-century wooden houses, and in the north, the tree-clad hills around Albany. In between are well-established and high quality residential areas, Glenfield and Takapuna, and the attractive seaside suburbs and greenfields of East Coast Bays. The city is home to high quality retail centres, attractively-designed industrial parks, leading educational institutions, world-class sports and leisure facilities, six libraries, and modern hospitals. A theatre and conference facility for North Shore City - the Bruce Mason Centre - opened in 1996. Albany is being developed into a major commercial and recreational centre over the next 20 years, and is home to the North Shore Domain, a multi-purpose entertainment, sporting and recreational facility, capable of staging important international events, with the 25,000-capacity North Harbour Stadium at its heart.
