Hobsonville is a suburb in West Auckland, in the North Island of New Zealand. Historically a rural settlement, Hobsonville has now developed into a suburb of Auckland.[3]
Hobsonville was one of the earliest European settlements in the area and became a large part of the early pottery industry in New Zealand. Hobsonville later served as a Royal New Zealand Air Force base from 1920–2001. Following the closure of the air base a plan for a large scale residential development was undertaken by the Housing Ministry.
The peninsula is joined by the State Highway 16 in the west and the Upper Harbour Bridge in the east.[4]
