Waitakere
The unpredictable, bush clad Waitakere ranges and the wild Tasman sea that skirts its coastline reflect West Auckland’s persona. These are people of strong character unlike any other part of Auckland. Step into Westie country, a major centre for tourism, the arts, culture, and the natural world. Featuring fabulous scenic bush walks and architecturally designed homes, the West has it all.
The local Waitakere Edition is all about the reader and their community and it’s full of in-depth local news, sports, events, real estate, advertising, entertainment listings and lifestyle.
