Kaipara Flats is a locality in the Rodney District of New Zealand. Warkworth is 12 km to the east, Ahuroa to the south, and Tauhoa to the north-west. The North Auckland railway line passes through the area.[3][4]
The economy is mostly sheep and cattle farming, with lifestyle blocks increasing in popularity. The Rodney Aero Club has an airfield nearby.[5]
A bridle track was established to Glorit on the Kaipara Harbour in 1899, and part was improved to a dray road the following year.[6] The North Auckland Line reached Kaipara Flats from Ahuroa in 1906.[7]
