St Lukes is a suburb of New Zealand's largest city, Auckland. It is under the local governance of the Auckland Council. After Westfield St Lukes opened in 1972, the area developed into a major commercial area of the Auckland isthmus.

Geography

St Lukes is a small suburb on the Auckland isthmus, located between New North Road and Sandringham Road in the vicinity of Saint Lukes Road.

History

St Luke's Church on New North Road

The broader area was originally swampland, and known to Tāmaki Māori as Ngā Anawai, referring to the water-filled lava-flow caves that formed in the area. The lava caves were created by Maungawhau / Mount Eden and Mount Albert over 30,000 years ago.[3][4] The area, especially the north-east along Sandringham Road at Gribblehirst Park was known to early European residents as Cabbage Tree Swamp, due to the number of tī kōuka (cabbage trees) that lined the swampland.[4]

On 29 June 1841, the Mount Albert area was sold to the Crown by Ngāti Whātua, as a part of a 12,000 acre section.[5] The terrain of the area was rough, meaning the area saw slower development compared to other parts of the Auckland isthmus.[6] In the 1860s, New North Road was established as road access for the area and as an alternative to the Great North Road to the north.[7] In 1864, reverend Alexander French purchased allotment 161 and established a farm in the modern St Lukes area.[3] Allan Kerr Taylor, a major landowner in the Mount Albert area, gifted land along New North Road to the Anglican Church. The name Church of St. Luke was chosen during a community meeting in July 1872,[8] and the church opened in November 1872.[9]

In 1962, the Wagener subdivision, an industrial area of Auckland, was constructed on Saint Lukes Road.[10]

In 1971, the St Lukes Shopping Centre was opened by Prime Minister Keith Holyoake, as the second modern shopping centre in Auckland after LynnMall.[11] The centre was funded by the Mount Albert Borough Council, and was later extended in the early 2000s.[11]

From 2003 to 2011, a large apartment complex called St Lukes Garden was built in the area. Many of the buildings in the complex had issues with leaking, which led to one of the largest court cases dealing with leaky buildings in New Zealand.[12] In 2018, Chemist Warehouse set up their first store in New Zealand in St Lukes.[13]

St Lukes covers 0.46 km2 (0.18 sq mi)[1] and had an estimated population of 2,580 as of June 2024,[2] with a population density of 5,609 people per km2.

At this point, the road becomes known as Balmoral Road as it continues through Balmoral, and after crossing St Andrews Road is known as Greenlane.

St Lukes can be reached by public transport by using the OuterLink buses.[20]

Local government

In October 1866, the Mt Albert District Highway Board, the first local government in the area, was formed to administer New North Road and the surrounding areas.[7] In 1911, the board became the Mount Albert Borough, who elected a mayor.[21] In 1978, Mount Albert became a city,[22] and in 1989 it was absorbed into Auckland City.[23] In November 2010, all cities and districts of the Auckland Region were amalgamated into a single body, governed by the Auckland Council.[24]

St Lukes is a part of the Albert-Eden local board area. The residents of Albert-Eden elect a local board, and two councillors from the Albert-Eden-Puketāpapa ward to sit on the Auckland Council.
