Māngere-Ōtāhuhu

Built around volcanic land and the historic portage between Manukau Harbour and the Tāmaki River, Māngere-Ōtāhuhu grew into a major urban part of southern Auckland. The district lies within Auckland’s volcanic field, and Māngere Mountain, or Te Pane o Mataoho, rises above the harbour as a scoria cone and former Māori pā site. Near the water, the Ōtuataua Stonefields preserve archaeological evidence of Māori gardening on fertile volcanic soils. Established neighbourhoods, industrial areas and the surroundings of Auckland Airport now share this harbour-side setting.
