Welcome
Hobsonville Point is not just another suburb. It is a community. Our commitment to quality urban design and modern environmental principles will ensure it's a great place to live, learn, work, play and grow.
Located on 167 hectares of magnificent, upper Waitemata Harbour coastal land with 270 degree views, the Point offers a unique opportunity to be part of an innovative, master-planned urban development, designed to reflect the aspirations and diversity of New Zealand in the 21st century.
The beauty of its natural setting and its rich cultural history combine to give the Point its distinctive identity, ensuring it will be highly sought after in years to come. It offers quality, accessible urban living only minutes from New Zealand's largest and most dynamic city.
Introducing Buckley

Civil works (roads and services) for the first stage of Buckley is under way. Construction of the first houses is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2010 with people moving into their new community in early 2011. Read about our other planned precincts on this page.
