Māngere Bridge is a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand, under the local governance of the Auckland Council. Surrounded by the Manukau Harbour, the area is the most north-western suburb of South Auckland, and is connected to Onehunga in central Auckland by three bridges that cross the Māngere Inlet. Many features of the Auckland volcanic field are found in and around Māngere Bridge, including Māngere Mountain, a 106-metre-high (348 ft) feature in the centre of the suburb, and Māngere Lagoon, a volcanic tidal lagoon opposite Puketutu Island in the harbour. The suburb is also home to Ambury Regional Park, a working farm and nature sanctuary run by Auckland Council,[3] that connects to the Kiwi Esplanade and Watercare Coastal walkways.

After being inhabited for hundreds of years by

market gardens
.

Māngere Bridge developed suburban housing in the 1950s and 1960s, experiencing growth helped by its proximity to Auckland Airport, which opened in 1966. After the closure of open-air wastewater-treatment ponds in the early 2000s, the part of the harbour surrounding Māngere Bridge underwent significant ecological restoration. The suburb is multicultural; many residents are large families, and the housing stock is dominated by brick-and-tile homes built in the 1960s and 1970s.[3] In 2019, the suburb name was officially gazetted as Māngere Bridge.[4]

History

Māori history

Māngere Mountain / Te Pane-o-Mataaho / Te Ara Pueru, an important pā for Waiohua in the 18th century and Ngāti Whātua in the early 19th century

Most of the land around Māngere Bridge is formed from lava flows from Te Pane o Mataaho / Māngere Mountain.[5]: 20  Archaeological records date fishing activities in the area as far back as the 15th century.[6]: 10  The Ambury Regional Park and Māngere Lagoon areas have around 100 recorded archaeological sites, including stoneworks and shell middens.[6]: 5  The area closer to Māngere Mountain has fewer identified sites, likely as the result of modern developments destroying evidence of these.[6]: 5 

In the early 18th century, Te Pane o Mataaho / Māngere Mountain was a major pā for the Waiohua, a confederacy of Tāmaki Māori iwi.[7] The mountain complex may have been home to thousands of people, with the mountain acting as a central place for rua (food storage pits).[8]: 63  Paramount chief Kiwi Tāmaki would stay at Māngere seasonally, when it was the time of year to hunt sharks in the Manukau Harbour.[9] In the early 1740s, Kiwi Tāmaki was slain in battle by the Te Taoū hapū of Ngāti Whātua.[10] After the battle, most Waiohua fled the region, although many of the remaining Waiohua warriors regrouped at Te Pane o Mataaho.[11] The warriors strew pipi shells around the base of the mountain to warn against attacks, but Te Taoū warriors covered the pipi shells with dogskin cloaks to muffle the sound, and raided the pā at dawn. An alternate name for the mountain, Te Ara Pueru ("the dogskin cloak path"), references this event.[11]

After the events of this war,

Tāmaki isthmus, who intermarried with defeated members of Waiohua, settled the region. Originally the iwi were based on Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill, but after the death of paramount chief Tūperiri (circa 1795), the Māngere Bridge area and Onehunga became permanent kāinga (settlements) for Ngāti Whātua. The location was chosen because of the good quality soils for gardening, resources from the Manukau Harbour, and the area acting as a junction for surrounding trade routes.[12]: 13 [13] Māngere and Onehunga were considered a single settlement, as the Manukau Harbour was easily traversable by foot at low tide, connected by a natural basalt rock causeway, separated only by a narrow low tide stream.[12]: 13 [13] Residence at Māngere-Onehunga was seasonal, with most people travelling along fishing and gardening circuits in the region, returning to Māngere-Onehunga in the winter. A small number of permanent residents remained at Māngere-Onehunga, such as pig farmers.[12]: 13 [13] The land around Māngere Bridge area was predominantly used to grow kūmara (sweet potato) by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei.[12]: 14  Māngere-Onehunga remained the principal residence of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei until the 1840s, before the iwi moved to Ōrākei.[13]

Colonial period and land confiscation

In the 1820s and early 1830s, the threat of Ngāpuhi raiders from the north during the Musket Wars caused most of the Tāmaki Makaurau area to become deserted.[13] During this period, a peace accord between Ngāpuhi and Waikato Tainui was reached through the marriage of Matire Toha, daughter of Ngāpuhi chief Rewa was married to Kati Takiwaru, the younger brother of Tainui chief Pōtatau Te Wherowhero, and they settled together on the slopes of Māngere Mountain.[8]: 67  Ngāti Whātua returned to the Māngere-Onehunga area by the mid-1830s,[13] re-establishing a pā on Māngere Mountain called Whakarongo.[14] In late 1837, members of Tainui iwi Ngāti Mahuta settled at Māngere Bridge, after receiving an offer from Ngāti Whātua to share land.[13]

On 20 March 1840, Ngāti Whātua chief Apihai Te Kawau signed the Treaty of Waitangi at Orua Bay on the Manukau Harbour,[15] inviting Lieutenant-Governor William Hobson to settle in Auckland, hoping this would protect the land and people living in Tāmaki Makaurau.[16] In the winter of 1840, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei moved the majority of the iwi to the Waitematā Harbour, with most iwi members resettling to the Remuera-Ōrākei area, closer to the new European settlement at Waihorotiu (modern-day Auckland CBD). A smaller Ngāti Whātua presence remained at Māngere-Onehunga, as well as members of Te Uringutu.[17][18] In the late 1840s, Governor George Grey asked Pōtatau Te Wherowhero (then known as a powerful chief and negotiator, but later the first Māori King) to settle his people in the Māngere Bridge area to defend the township of Auckland, in an arrangement similar to the European Fencible Corps settlements on the outskirts of the Auckland township.[19]: 3 [20]: 39  Pōtatau Te Wherowhero and his people (known as the Māori Militia) settled near to the land where his brother Kati Takiwaru lived, an area of 190 hectares (480 acres) around the base of Māngere Mountain.[8]: 68  The Māngere Bridge area was divided into 81 single-acre and 81 two-acre lots by the colonial government.[19]: 3  In 1847, the first ferry service between Onehunga and Māngere Bridge was established by Mr Bradney, where passengers would raise a flag at Māngere Bridge to signal the ferry operator.[21]

The 1850s were a prosperous time for the region. Māngere Bridge was settled by a mix of Waikato-Tainui, Ngāti Whatua, Waiohua-descendant tribes such as Te Ākitai Waiohua and a minority of European/Pākehā farmers.[8]: 68  Māori from the Manukau Harbour and Waikato areas would bring goods to sell or barter with the European population, including goods such as peaches, melons, fish and potatoes.[19]: 3  In 1858, Pōtatau Te Wherowhero relocated to Ngāruawāhia, with his role as tribal leader of the Māngere settlement taken up by Tāmati Ngāpora.[19]: 3 [22] In the late 1850s, the St James Anglican Church was constructed as a joint project between European settlers and the Ngāti Mahuta militia, using scoria taken from Māngere Mountain.[23]: 36 [24]

The prosperity was short-lived, as on 9 July 1863, due to fears of the Māori King Movement, Governor Grey proclaimed that all Māori living in the South Auckland area needed to swear loyalty to the Queen and give up their weapons. Most people refused due to strong links to Tainui, leaving for the south before the Government's

New Zealand Settlements Act 1863.[19]: 4  European settlers continued to live in the area, often looting the abandoned settlements.[19]: 4  In 1867, the Native Compensation Court returned 144 of the original 485 acres that had been seized by the crown.[19]: 4  The remaining land was kept by the crown as reserves, or sold on to settlers.[19]

Opening of the bridge and dairy farming

Plans for a bridge spanning the Māngere Inlet began in 1866, when a company was formed to investigate a crossing between Māngere and Onehunga, funded by a grant provided by the Auckland provincial government.

Auckland Provincial Council to investigate the creation of a bridge south of Onehunga.[21] In 1875, the first Māngere Bridge was opened, leading to Māngere Bridge being one of the first areas of Māngere to develop suburban housing.[23]: 2  In the latter 19th century, Māngere Bridge was well-known for wheat, and produced oats, barley, potatoes and cattle for the growing settlement of Auckland.[19]: 4  The postal service reached Māngere Bridge in 1878,[19]: 4  and by 1883 the first shop was operating at Māngere Bridge, on the corner of corner of Kiwi Esplanade and Coronation Road.[23]: 31  1886 saw the first post office open in Māngere Bridge,[26] and in August 1890 the Māngere Bridge School opened (previously the Māngere Central School served the area).[23]: 42  Further land was returned to Waikato tribes in 1890, where a cottage was built for King Tāwhiao, which housed family members of the king visiting Auckland, or family members being educated at schools in Auckland, such as Mahuta Tāwhiao, Tumate Mahuta and Tonga Mahuta.[19]

From the late 1880s, Māngere Bridge was one of the largest dairy suppliers to the city of Auckland. In October 1887, Ambury and English Ltd opened a dairy factory in the area, supplying milk from the dairy farms (which includes modern day Ambury Regional Park, and farms along Wallace Road and Creamery Road)[27] to their stores on Karangahape Road and Ponsonby Road. The creamery closed in 1937, and in 1943 operations were sold to the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company.[28][8]: 68 

Chinese market gardens and suburbanisation

The Māngere Bridge Village, which developed in the 1950s and 1960s

In 1915, a new, wider bridge across the Manukau Harbour was opened, after the original was declared unsafe and closed the previous year.[29][21] The first Chinese New Zealanders arrived in the area in 1915,[23]: 11  and ten years later the first freehold land was sold to a Chinese buyer.[30] Between the 1920s and 1940s, a large proportion of the area was used for Chinese-owned and operated market gardens.[27] By 1954, over half of the registered market gardens in the Māngere-Onehunga area were run by Chinese families.[30] Other employers in the area included a quarry established at Taylor Road in the mid-1920s (running until 1963),[23]: 35  rope works,[23]: 11  and a dancehall and tearooms called the Oriental Rendezvous, which was built on the waterfront and became a regular fixture of Auckland nightlife until it burnt down in 1932.[31][32] In 1932, a water reservoir was constructed atop Māngere Mountain,[23]: 22  and in the late 1930s the area was electrified.[23]: 22 

In the 1950s, the area changed from mostly rural to suburban, as Māngere Bridge was developed for housing, extending west past Seaforth Avenue in 1959.[23]: 23  The Māngere Bridge town centre began to develop in the 1950s and 1960s (mostly undeveloped until this time, due to the close proximity of the shops in Onehunga), during which the first banks were built in the suburb.[23]: 10, 18  In 1954, Māngere Bridge formed as a county town within the Manukau County Council, and in 1965 it became a suburb of the newly formed Manukau City.[23]: 9  In 1965, the Te Puea Memorial Marae was opened,[23]: 45  later becoming a temporary refuge to help combat growing homelessness in New Zealand.[33] The area saw significant increase in traffic after the opening of the Auckland Airport in 1966.[21]

Māngere sewage ponds, new bridges and the Southwestern Motorway

The former oxidation ponds at Māngere Lagoon and Puketutu Island in 1972

In 1960, the Manukau Sewage Purification Works (now Māngere Wastewater Treatment Plant) was opened,[34] using an algae-based system to process the waste for the majority of the Auckland region with oxidation ponds in the Manukau Harbour and Māngere Lagoon, extending outwards to Puketutu Island.[35][23]: 15–16  The Manukau Harbour site was chosen in 1954 to replace the Ōkahu Bay sewage tanks (the site of modern-day Kelly Tarlton's Sea Life Aquarium).[35] The Manukau Harbour became the preferred site after Dove-Myer Robinson lobbied against the planned Motukorea / Browns Island sewage plant.[36] The ponds caused degradation to the environment of the harbour, destruction of traditional fishing grounds at the Oruarangi Creek, strong odours and swarms of Chironomus zealandicus (New Zealand midge) in the surrounding areas.[34] The following year, the Māngere Residents' Protest Committee was formed to seek improvements or compensation.[34] The plant was upgraded in 1983, but odour and midge problems persisted in Māngere Bridge.[37] In the early 2000s the oxidation ponds were decommissioned and the treatment plant upgraded to use ultraviolet lamps to disinfect the sewage.[35][23]: 11  As a part of the pond closure process, work on the ecological restoration of the harbour and shoreline began, resulting in the construction of the Watercare Coastal Walkway and an increase in migratory wading birds returning to the harbour.[35]

In 1970, planning began for State Highway 20 (commonly known as the Southwestern Motorway), an additional motorway connecting the Auckland CBD to Auckland Airport through Mount Roskill and Onehunga.[38] Planning for this highway included a new motorway bridge to be built alongside the existing Māngere Bridge,[39] and for the far eastern section of the suburb to be bisected by the new motorway. Construction on the bridge began in the mid 1970s.[39] However, by May 1978, the construction halted when workers organised a labour strike over insufficient redundancy payments. The partially constructed bridge was picketed for a period of two and a half years, becoming the longest continuous labour strike in the history of New Zealand.[40] The bridge was opened in 1983,[41] and by 1984 State Highway 20 had extended south to Coronation Road, and to Massey Road by 1997.[41] In 2010, a parallel motorway bridge over the Māngere Inlet was constructed, doubling the number of lanes to eight.[41][42] The entire Western Ring Route project, connecting the Northwestern Motorway to the Southern Motorway was completed in 2017.[43]

In November 2018, the old Māngere Bridge was closed due to safety issues.[44] A new, curved, pedestrian and cycling bridge will open by late August 2022.[45] The proposals for the City Centre-to-Māngere light rail project involve a stop at Māngere Bridge,[46]: 18 [47] which may also involve a new crossing of the Māngere Inlet, separate to the Māngere Bridge pedestrian bridge and motorway bridges.[48]: 2  After the 2023 New Zealand general election, plans for light rail to Māngere were placed on hold.[49]

In 2019, the name of the suburb was officially gazetted as Māngere Bridge, adding a macron to the suburb's name.[4]

Māngere Bridge is a part of the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu local government area in Auckland,[81] which elects seven board members to serve on the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board,[82] The board is currently chaired by Lemauga Lydia Sosene,[83] and all seven members are affiliated to the New Zealand Labour Party.[82] The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu local government area is within the Auckland council's Manukau ward,[84] and is currently represented on the Auckland Council by two councillors: Fa'anānā Alf Filipaina and Lotu Fuli.[85]

Māngere Bridge is located within the Māngere general and Tāmaki Makaurau Māori parliamentary electorates. Since the 2008 New Zealand general election, the Māngere electorate has been represented by Aupito William Sio,[86] while Peeni Henare has been the Member of Parliament for Tāmaki Makaurau since 2014.[87] In the 2014 New Zealand general election, the voters of the suburb narrowly preferred the New Zealand National Party,[88] despite the electorate overall voting strongly for the Labour Party.[89] Māngere Bridge voters gave a relative majority to the Labour Party in 2017.[88] Among Māngere Bridge polling stations in 2017 and 2020, support for the New Zealand National Party and Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand was higher compared to the overall average for the Māngere electorate.[78][90]

Education

Māngere Bridge School, the first school established in the area in 1890

The Māngere Bridge area was originally served by the Māngere Central School, which opened in Māngere in 1859.[91] The first school in the suburb was Māngere Bridge School, which opened in 1890.[23]: 12  This was followed by Waterlea Public School (originally called Māngere Bridge No. 2 School) and Mountain View School (originally known as Miller Road Primary School) in 1955 and 1963, respectively.[92][93] These three schools are contributing primary schools (years 1–6) with rolls of 308, 409 and 229 students, respectively.[94][95][96]

Ambury Park Centre is a private secondary school (years 9–13) for students with disabilities. It has a roll of 8 students.[97] Horse riding and care of horses are an important feature of their educational programme.[98] Auckland Seventh-day Adventist High School is a state-integrated secondary school (years 9–13) with a roll of 315 students.[99]

All these schools are coeducational. Rolls are as of February 2024.[100]

Transportation

Māngere Bridge is accessible by the Southwestern Motorway, which first served the suburb after the opening of the motorway bridge in 1983.[39] The motorway was gradually extended northwest and southeast, and completed in July 2017.[43]

In October 2016, a new bus network was implemented for South Auckland by Auckland Transport, involving three bus routes that served Māngere Bridge: the 309 between Māngere Town Centre and the Auckland CBD; the 313 service connecting Onehunga town centre to Manukau via Māngere and Papatoetoe; and the 380 connecting to Auckland Airport.[101] In July 2021, the 36 and 38, frequent bus services to Manukau and Auckland Airport, replaced the 313 and 380.[102] Māngere Bridge is a planned stop for the City Centre-to-Māngere light rail project.[46]
