West Harbour is a suburb of Auckland, located to the west of the Auckland isthmus and CBD. It is named for its location on the western side of the Waitematā Harbour. West Harbour is under the governance of Auckland Council after the amalgamation of district councils in 2010.
Local features include many public reserves (the most prominent being Luckens Reserve, which in 2014 received a basketball court), tennis courts, two local primary schools, West Harbour School and Marina View School, a Church, and farm land. West Harbour is home to Hobsonville Marina, a large marina catering to around 600 boats and yachts, which was part of the route the Royal Family took during their 2014 visit.
