Waitemata City was a New Zealand city in the greater Auckland area. It was formed in 1974 from the western part of the old Waitemata County, with both the County and City taking their names from Waitemata Harbour. In 1989, when New Zealand local government bodies underwent a major re-organisation, Waitemata City joined with its southern neighbours, the boroughs of Henderson, Glen Eden, and New Lynn, to form the modern city of Waitakere.
Mayors of Waitemata City were:
- Ian McHardy 1977–1980
- Tony Covic 1980–1983
- Tim Shadbolt 1983–1989
Famous quotes containing the word city:
“A suburb is an attempt to get out of reach of the city without having the city be out of reach.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
