Waterview is a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand, located along the western side of Auckland's isthmus. Its boundaries are Oakley Creek in the east, Heron Park in the south, the Waitematā Harbour (and Motu Manawa (Pollen Island) Marine Reserve) in the west, and the Northwestern Motorway and the Oakley Creek inlet in the north.^[3]^[4]

Waterview is primarily a residential area, with its residents commuting to work. There are few shops: a dairy, laundromat, bakery, and a community-owned cafe.^[5] Community facilities are available at Point Chevalier or Avondale, 20–30 minutes walk away.^[3]^[4]

History

The Waterview (Its maori name, Waitango) area, especially along the coast and inlet areas, has a relatively high incidence of archeologically significant areas, from old settlement remnants (both Maori and early European settler), to a comparatively well-retained site of an old mill/tannery and quarry (Star Mill/Garret Bros Tannery) which is scheduled as a Category I Historic Place, and which once used the stream waters to drive a waterwheel.^[3]^[4]

The population of Waterview has been stable since the 2006 census.^[6]

Transport

A major issue that faced Waterview was the construction of SH20 from Hillsborough through to the Northwestern Motorway. The route through Waterview was highly contentious until (and to a degree after) a fast-tracked Board of Inquiry process consented a route in mid-2011, which placed a new motorway tunnel portal and motorway interchange at the north end of the suburb, causing the removal of numerous homes in the area.^[7]^[8]

Public transport facilities from Waterview allow access to a range of destinations in Auckland, and a shared walking and cycling path is proposed to link Waterview with Mt Albert and several other suburbs along the State Highway 16 cycle route.^[9]

Education

Waterview Primary School is a coeducational contributing primary (years 1-6) school with a roll of 276 as of August 2024.^[10]^[11] The school opened in 1950. It had to be demolished and a new school built as part of the Waterview Connection.^[12]^[13]

There is no secondary school in the suburb; nearby state secondary schools include Avondale College, Western Springs College and Mount Albert Grammar School.

Amenities

Howlett Reserve is a local coastal walkway at the mouth of the Oakley Creek as it enters the Waitematā Harbour, around Motu Manawa (Pollen Island) Marine Reserve.^[14]
