Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox settlement
The Hibiscus Coast is a populated area on a stretch of the Hauraki Gulf coast in New Zealand's Auckland Region. It has a population of Шаблон:Decimals Шаблон:NZ population data 2018 making it the 10th most populous urban area in New Zealand, and the second most populous in the Auckland Region, behind Auckland itself. As an urban area delineated by Statistics New Zealand, the Hibiscus Coast consists of Hatfields Beach, Orewa, Silverdale and Whangaparāoa Peninsula. The Auckland Council's Hibiscus Coast subdivision of the Hibiscus and Bays includes the neighbouring communities of Waiwera and Stillwater,[1] and Milldale in Rodney, is also described as a part of the Hibiscus Coast.[2]
Tāmaki Māori settled the Hibiscus Coast area since at least the 13th century, utilising the resources of the Weiti River, Ōrewa River and Whangaparāoa Bay, where an important shark fishery was located. After the Kawerau warrior Maki unified many of the Tāmaki Māori people of the northern and western Auckland Region, his children and grandchildren established hapū including Ngāti Kahu, Ngāti Maraeariki and Ngāti Manuhiri. Ngāti Kahu and Ngāti Pāoa from the Hauraki Gulf fought for control over the Whangaparāoa Bay shark fishery in the 18th century. After fleeing the area in the 1820s due to the Musket Wars, Ngāti Kahu returned to the Hibiscus Coast, living here until the 1870s.
The Hibiscus Coast was a part of the Mahurangi Block, forest sold to the Crown in 1841. Kauri loggers and itinerant kauri gum diggers were among the first Europeans to come to the area. The township of Silverdale, then known as The Wade, was established as a logging town along the Weiti River, and the Waiwera Hot Pools became a popular tourist attraction in the latter 19th century.
Orewa and the Whangaparāoa Peninsula became popular tourist destinations in the 1920s, when holiday baches were constructed in the area. During World War II, a New Zealand Army base was constructed at the end of the peninsula. The area rapidly developed in the 1950s and 1960s, in part due to the opening of the Auckland Harbour Bridge, and town centres were constructed in Orewa and Whangaparāoa. The 1960s saw the opening of two regional parks, Wenderholm Regional Park, adjacent to the Hibiscus Cost, and Shakespear Regional Park, at the eastern headland of the Whangaparāoa Peninsula.
The Hibiscus Coast was connected to the Auckland Northern Motorway in the late 1990s, after which further residential development occurred on the coast, most notably at Silverdale. In 2023, construction began on O Mahurangi Penlink, a new motorway to Whangaparāoa, crossing the Weiti River.
Geography
The Hibiscus Coast is an area of the northern Auckland Region, located between the Waiwera River to the north and the Ōkura River to the south, adjacent to the Hauraki Gulf. The area includes the Whangaparāoa Peninsula and Tiritiri Matangi Island, found Шаблон:Convert east of the peninsula.[3] Major communities on the Hibiscus Coast include Orewa, the Whangaparāoa Peninsula, Silverdale, and the villages of Stillwater, Hatfields Beach and Waiwera.
The area is home to six rivers, estuaries and streams: the Waiwera Estuary,[4] to the north, Ōtānerua Stream,[5] Nukumea Stream,[6][7] Ōrewa River, Weiti River, and Ōkura River to the south.[8]
Beaches in the region are predominantly sandy,[9] with gentle slopes. Many of these are wide and provide excellent opportunities for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports.[9][10] Red Beach and Orewa are some of Auckland's best beginner surf beaches,[11] whilst other Hibiscus Coast beaches are more suitable for swimming and families.
Tiritiri Matangi Island is an open sanctuary,[12] and the largest island on the Hibiscus Coast. Tiritiri Matangi is located a short distance off the end of the Whangaparāoa Peninsula adjacent to the Shakespear Regional Park. Mahurangi Island is a smaller Island which sits off the mouth of the Waiwera River,[13] the island forms part of the Wenderholm Regional Park.[14] The smallest island on the Hibiscus Coast is Kotanui Island (Frenchman's Cap), which sits between Matakatia and Gulf Harbour Marina.[15]
Prior to European settlement, the inland Hibiscus Coast area was densely forested,[16] dominated by kauri,[17] and the upper Ōrewa River catchment was a wetland.[18] By the mid-19th century, the Whangaparāoa Peninsula was no longer forested, and was dominated by mānuka scrub and swamplands.[19]
Etymology
The name Hibiscus Coast dates from the early 1960s, when a group of Whangaparāoa and Orewa businessmen looked for an inclusive name for the developing Whangaparāoa/Orewa area. The group chose hibiscus, a non-native flower, due to its associations with beach and holiday atmospheres.Шаблон:Sfn[20] Hibiscus was also used as the name of one of the minereal baths at the Waiwera Hot Pools in the early 20th century.Шаблон:Sfn The Hibiscus Coast Association was established in the 1960s, and lobbied against other regions of New Zealand adopting the hibiscus as a symbol.[21] The name was officially adopted in 1971, when the Whangaparaoa Riding of the Waitemata County was renamed the Hibiscus Coast Riding.[22]Шаблон:Sfn
Hibiscus Coast has been translated into Māori as Шаблон:Lang, referring to puarangi, a rare native species of hibiscus.[23]
History
Māori history
The Hibiscus Coast area has been settled since at least the 13th century, with many of the first Māori occupants identifying as Ngā Oho.[16] The wider area between the Ōrewa River and Mahurangi River was traditionally known as Mahurangi, named after a pā located at the mouth of the Waiwera River.[24] Archaeological sites in the area are most densely found at Karepiro Bay, the Ōrewa River estuary and Shakespear Regional Park, at the end of the Whangaparāoa Peninsula.[16] The Ōrewa River estuary was an important sheltered harbour, which offered marine resources such as shellfish and flounder, and connections to inland walking routes.[16] The Tainui migratory waka is known to have visited Whangaparāoa in the 14th century,[25] and Tahawhakatiki, nephew of Tama-te-kapua of the Arawa waka settled at Whangaparāoa.[26][25]
The Whangaparāoa Peninsula was an important transportation node between the wider Northland and Auckland regions,[19] and was often used as a resting point for people travelling between the Mahurangi Harbour and Waitematā Harbour.[25] Portages, where waka could be hauled overland between waterways, connected the Hibiscus Coast area to the Kaipara Harbour in the west. The Weiti Portage crossed overland between the Kaukapakapa River and the Weiti River, while the Aotoetoe portage travelled north between the Kaukapakapa River and the Ōrewa River.[27]Шаблон:Sfn Additionally, the Waiau portage bisected the Whangaparāoa Peninsula between Tindalls Beach and Matakatia, and it is likely that another portage existed on the peninsula to the west, connecting Red Beach to the Weiti River.[27]
Arrival of Maki
Likely in the 17th century, the warrior Maki migrated from the Kāwhia Harbour to his ancestral home in the Auckland Region. Maki conquered and unified many of the Tāmaki Māori tribes as Te Kawerau ā Maki, including those of the North Shore and Hibiscus Coast.[28][29] After Maki's death, his sons settled different areas of his lands, creating new hapū, including the wider Hibiscus Coast hapū of Ngāti Manuhiri, Ngāti Maraeariki, Ngāti Poataniwha and Ngāti Kahu.[30][31]
Maki's younger son Maraeariki primarily settled at the head of the Ōrewa River,[30][32]Шаблон:Sfn and his hapū Ngāti Maraeariki grew to occupy lands between Whangaparāoa and Ōmaha.[31] Maraeariki's children Te Utu and Kahu settled along the Whangaparāoa Peninsula.[19] Ngāti Poataniwha formed marriage links with Ngāi Tai descendants of Taihaua and Waiohua,[33] while Ngāti Kahu, who descend from Maraeariki's daughter Kahu, formed links with both Ngāi Tai descendants of Taihaua and Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara.[19][31]
Ngāti Kahu focused settlement at Te Haruhi Bay at modern Shakespear Regional Park, due to its desirble location,[25] and held a defensive pā, Rarowhara, at the eastern headland of the Weiti River.[19][25]
Outside of Rarowhara, pā were established across the wider area, including a ring of protective pā surrounding the Waiwera hot spring,Шаблон:Sfn Dacre Point,[34] Alice Eaves Scenic Reserve,Шаблон:Sfn Rakauananga Pā at Hobbs Bay, Coalminers Bay, Big Manly Beach and Little Manly Beach.[35]
Shark fishery conflict and the Musket Wars
The Hibiscus Coast was the location of an important shark fishery, located between Kawau Island and the Whangaparāoa Peninsula, which was contested between iwi of the wider region.[31] By the mid-1700s, Marutūāhu tribes from the Hauraki Gulf, especially Ngāti Pāoa, sought to control the important resource. Ngāti Pāoa established a pā on Tiritiri Matangi Island, for use during shark fishing expeditions.[19] War between Ngāti Pāoa and Ngāti Kahu lasted until the 1790s. After a peace accord held at Mihirau at Wenderholm Regional Park was broken, Ngāti Pāoa attacked Rarowhara Pā, which Ngāti Kahu successfully defended.[19] During this period, Kawerau-descended hapū held exclusive land rights to the Hibiscus Coast area, while fishing rights were shared between Ngāti Kahu and Marutūāhu tribes.[31]
In September 1821 during the Musket Wars, a Ngāpuhi taua (war party) ventured south to avenge past losses against Ngāti Kahu in the 1790s. The Kawerau-descendant tribes were heavily defeated, and Rarowhara Pā was sacked.[25][19] Survivors fled to the Ararimu Valley, Muriwai, and eventually to the Waikato, gradually returning in the 1830s.[25][19] On return, Ngāti Kahu formed intertribal marriages with Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara, seasonally migrating between Orewa, Te Haruhi Bay and Ōkura.[25][19] Ngāti Kahu settlement at Whangaparāoa continued until the 1870s.[19]
After the war, prominent Ngāpuhi chief Eruera Maihi Patuone, who married Takarangi / Rīria, a high ranking Ngāti Paoa woman,[36][37] seasonally stayed at Whangaparāoa with his Ngāti Paoa relatives.Шаблон:Sfn
Early colonial era: logging and Waiwera resort
The Hibiscus Coast area was visited by explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville in 1827 aboard the Astrolabe. d'Urville decided to name Karepiro Bay Tofino Bay after the Spanish navigator and mathematician Vicente Tofiño de San Miguel,Шаблон:Sfn and the Whangaparāoa Peninsula 'Buache'.Шаблон:Sfn The first known European to step ashore onto the Hibiscus Coast was a missionary in 1833,Шаблон:Sfn and early timber merchants were attracted to the Weiti River catchment by the late 1830s.Шаблон:Sfn
Following the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840,[38] the Crown made the first purchases of the Mahurangi and Omaha blocks on 13 April 1841, which included the Hibiscus Coast. While some iwi and hapū with customary interests had been engaged, such as Ngāti Paoa and Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, others, including Te Kawerau ā Maki, Ngāti Manuhiri and Ngāti Rango, were not involved with transactions.[39]Шаблон:Sfn[40] This led to Ngāti Manuhiri being alienated from land on the Hibiscus Coast.[30]
Timber felling increased along the Weiti River catchment in the 1840s, and a settlement called the Wade (modern-day Silverdale) was established at the navigable heads of the Weiti River around the year 1853, becoming the commercial centre for the area.[41]Шаблон:Sfn The first known permanent settler along the Weiti River was John Robey Cole Hatfield, who settled in 1844.Шаблон:Sfn By 1853, there were likely between 200 and 300 people living at the Wade.Шаблон:Sfn[34] Maurice and Ellen Kelly, who operated a timber milling business, opened the Wade Hotel, which became the social centre for the town.Шаблон:Sfn The hotel was of ill repute among early settlers to New Zealand, known for cockfighting, dog fighting, and had a reputation for criminality.Шаблон:Sfn Silverdale School was established as the first school on the Hibiscus Coast in 1869 (then known as Wade School).[42]
In 1844, Robert Graham constructed a house adjacent to the Waiwera Hot Pools,Шаблон:Sfn publicising the hot pools as a tourist destination from 1848 onwards.Шаблон:Sfn In 1864, the Waiwera hot springs hotel was constructed,Шаблон:Sfn and by 1878 ferry services operated between Auckland and the hotel.Шаблон:Sfn Outside of the Wade, Ranulph Dacre acquired Weiti Station, a timber mill at modern Okura Bush Scenic Reserve in 1846,[19] and the Polkinghorme family settled at Whangaparāoa in the 1850s, establishing a short-lived cheese factory.Шаблон:Sfn By the mid-1850s, the majority of accessible native forest had been logged across the region, and the Hibiscus Coast was subdivided into farming lots.Шаблон:Sfn Six years after the construction of New Zealand's first lighthouse, the Tiritiri Matangi Lighthouse was built in 1864.[43] It remains New Zealand's oldest working lighthouse.[43]
In 1856 Captain Isaac Rhodes Cooper built Orewa House with the 58th (Rutlandshire) Regiment of Foot.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn This became the family residence of Channel Islands migrants, the de Jersey Gruts, in 1868,Шаблон:Sfn after the family struggled to establish a farm at Birkenhead.[44] Orewa House was the de Jersey Grut home for three generations,Шаблон:Sfn becoming a commercial guest house in 1906.Шаблон:Sfn
Early 20th century
As kauri gum deposits became rarer, land at Orewa was developed into orchards, where apples, pears, grapes and citrus fruit were grown for the Auckland market.[45] By the turn of the 20th century, dairy farming had become a viable and profitable business in New Zealand. This led to escalating land prices on the Hibiscus Coast and more intensive land use,Шаблон:Sfn and by the 1920s orchards were replaced by dairy farms.[45] A long jetty was constructed at Waiwera in 1905, quickly becoming dilapidated due to the wharf's length making it difficult to maintain.Шаблон:Sfn In 1911, the residents of the Wade decided to rename the settlement Silverdale, due to its poor reputation.Шаблон:Sfn
Orewa became a popular destination for campers and holidayers in the 1920s,Шаблон:Sfn which led to the height of popularity of Orewa House, then owned by Alice and Edward Eaves.Шаблон:Sfn The first holiday baches were constructed on Whangaparāoa in the 1920s, at Red Beach and Manly. Small coastal communities developed around each bay, without the entire Whangaparāoa Peninsula having a shared identity.Шаблон:Sfn
By the 1930s, coastal steamers were no longer the major form of transportation due to improved roading infrastructure.Шаблон:Sfn During the night of the 27 September 1939, a fire broke out in the Waiwera Hotel, seeing the building burnt to the ground.[46] The fire was reportedly visible from Auckland City. The hotel's two only guests were able to escape the building safely.[46]
Following the start of World War II, the threat of Japanese invasion saw the headland of the Whangaparāoa Peninsula chosen as one of two Auckland defence sites.[47] Coastal defences were subsequently established in what was then the Shakespear family farm.[47] Eleven pillboxes,[48] and a number of other army barracks were built on the land.[48] By 1961, the batteries and much of the other military equipment had been decommissioned.[47] The base, remains active into the 21st century as part of the Royal New Zealand Navy as the RNZN Tamaki Training Centre.[47]
Suburban development
Orewa and the Whangaparāoa Peninsula were subdivided for suburban housing in the 1950s.Шаблон:Sfn The Orewa town centre was developed in 1953, which included a shopping precinct and Hillary Square,Шаблон:Sfn joined by a town centre at Whangaparāoa in 1957. Residents narrowly decided on the name Whangaparāoa to describe the new town centre, favoured over the runner up name Glen Arkle.Шаблон:Sfn The Hibiscus Coast experienced a building and population boom in the 1960s, due to the opening of the Auckland Harbour Bridge.Шаблон:Sfn Orewa and western Whangaparāoa rapidly urbanised between 1964 and 1975, with the eastern Whangaparāoa peninsula developing in the late 1980s.[49]
In 1957, the Orewa Skating Rink was constructed. The rink developed into an entertainment precinct for the Hibiscus Coast in the 1960s, including a minigolf range and concert space. The rink was demolished in 1983.Шаблон:Sfn
In the mid-1960s, the Hibiscus Coast Association was established by local businessmen, looking to create a unified identity for the Orewa and Whangaparāoa areas. As a part of their efforts, more than 1,000 hibiscus trees were planted in the area in 1964.[21] By the end of the 1960s, the peninsula had approximately 2,000 permanent residents, with the population swelling to over 25,000 during the summer.[35]
In 1965, the Auckland Regional Authority established Wenderholm Regional Park, the first newly established regional park in Auckland, directly adjacent to the Hibiscus Coast.[50]Шаблон:Sfn This was followed by Shakespear Regional Park, at the eastern headland of the Whangaparāoa Peninsula, in 1967.Шаблон:Sfn
By the 1980s, large-scale housing developments were being constructed along the Whangaparāoa Peninsula.[35] In 1990, the Centrestage Theatre was constructed in Orewa.Шаблон:Sfn
On 20 December 1999, the Auckland Northern Motorway was extended to Silverdale.[51] This created a major link for the area back to the city. In 2004, a 12-storey apartment complex called the Nautilus was completed at Orewa. The only high rise building on the Hibiscus Coast, it is home to over 300 people, and in 2009 faced issues for being a leaky building.Шаблон:Sfn Silverdale rapidly expanded in the early 2000s.[49]
In 2018, the Waiwera Hot Pools closed for renovations;[52] however it never reopened. In 2023, the derelict water park was demolished.[53]
During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand in 2020, New Zealanders returning from Wuhan were required to quarantine at the Whangaparāoa Naval Base.[54] As the pandemic continued, the facility was not used further in favour of quarantine hotels and facilities closer to the international airports.
In late 2022, construction began on O Mahurangi Penlink, a new motorway between the Auckland Northern Motorway and the Whangaparāoa Peninsula, crossing the Weiti River at Stillwater and connecting the township to the Auckland motorways network.[55] The road is projected to open in 2026.[56] Future areas that are zoned for development on the Hibiscus Coast include the Highgate Business Park and Weiti Lands, the area between Okura Bush Scenic Reserve and Stillwater.[3]

Recreation
The Hibiscus Coast has a number of beaches that attract people to live there. Other places of interest on the coast or nearby include Snowplanet,[84] Auckland Adventure Park,[85] the Waiwera Hot Pools (now abandoned), Orewa Beach, Shakespear Regional Park,[86] and Gulf Harbour. Gulf Harbour is near the end of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, which is quite close to the wildlife reserve Tiritiri Matangi Island. Ferries transport people to the island from the harbour and back on a regular basis.[87]
Politics
From 1877 until 1974, the area was administered by the Waitemata County, a large rural county north and west of the city of Auckland.Шаблон:Sfn In 1974 the county was dissolved,[88] becoming part of Rodney County, them from 1989 to 2010 Rodney District. Orewa was the administrative centre for the Rodney District.[89] The Hibiscus Coast was amalgamated into Auckland Council in November 2010, under a single unitary authority system.[90]
Within the Auckland Council, the Hibiscus Coast subdivision is a part of the Hibiscus and Bays local government area governed by the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board.[91] It is a part of the Albany ward, which elects two councillors to the Auckland Council.

Roading infrastructure
Marking the inner boundary of the Hibiscus Coast is Auckland's Northern Motorway (State Highway One).[8] The motorway was extended to Orewa at the end of the 1990s.[51] In early 2009, a further motorway extension connected the motorway to Puhoi, creating the Northern Gateway Toll Road and replacing that section of State Highway 17.[107]
Connecting State Highway One at Silverdale to Puhoi via Orewa and Hatfields Beach, the Hibiscus Coast Highway was formerly a section of State Highway 17[108] and prior to that State Highway One.[51] Motorway extensions allowed the Hibiscus Coast Highway to be repurposed to serve growth in the local areas.
Set to connect State Highway One at Weiti Station (between Silverdale and Albany) to Stillwater and Stanmore Bay, O Mahurangi Penlink will be a crucial connection to the Whangaparaoa Peninsula. The new connection will feature a new crossing of the Weiti River[109] and is set to open in 2026.[110]
