Titirangi West Including Oratia, Green Bay, Wood Bay, French Bay, Konini, Waiatarua, Parau, Kaurilands, Huia, Cornwallis and Laingholm
Titirangi West including Oratia, Green Bay, Wood Bay, French Bay, Konini, Waiatarua, Parau, Kaurilands, Huia, Cornwallis and Laingholm he wooded suburb of Titirangi is inextricably linked with certain enduring images: Ttree-huggers, potters in home-spun jumpers, old Rovers in British-racing green with Greenpeace stickers, disappearing up bush-lined driveways. Trees are to Titirangi as coffee is to Ponsonby. Mention the place and most people think “bush”, and the 1970s vintage timber houses tucked out of sight, and often out of sun, amongst the trees. Many of Titirangi’s homes sit high above the Manukau Harbour with glorious sea views and distant city vistas. The suburb’s little village emphasises the feeling that you’re far from the madding crowd. Just five minutes up the road Oratia, with its big flat sections and views back towards the city, is one of the best-kept secrets of these parts. :DLWDNHUH Population Profile 6ZDQVRQ 5DQXL (GPRQWRQ Population 25,071 % Aged Under 15 Years 22.23 % Aged Over 65 Years 10.23 3DOP+HLJKWV *OHQGHQH % European 77.33 .HOVWRQ % Maori 7.24 % Pacific Peoples 4.45 2UDWLD 2UDWLD % Asian 5.48 .DXULODQGV *OHQ(GHQ6RXWK :DLDWDUXD *UHHQ%D\ Who Lives There? 7LWLUDQJL :RRG%D\ Traditionally, Titirangi has appealed to 0DFNLHV5HVW 0DFNLHV5HVW )UHQFK%D\ the artistically inclined and to bush-lovers.
