History
The Hobsonville Point land has a rich history from the time Maori first settled the area to when the Defence force stopped using the site as an airbase.
Amenities
To support the new community, Hobsonville Point will include a new primary and secondary school, early childhood centres, shops, cafes and community facilities.

Things to do
A range of recreational venues and opportunities are planned for Hobsonville Point. Among these are a Green Circuit walking trail, water sports at The Landing, picnic areas, sports grounds, small shops and cafes, as well as local community venues and events.
Location & transport
Hobsonville Point, in the Waitakere City district of north-west Auckland is conveniently located for transport, given its proximity to the new Western Ring Route motorway and planned ferry access to the central business district of Auckland city.
