Something I love about Henderson-Massey
I have lived here for over 23 years, married here, had kids here, they studied here, now work here like me and my wife.
I love that we have one of the most diverse residents in Auckland
I love the fact that you can go and enjoy nature in 1 of the 220 parks in our area.
I feel welcomed when people say good day on the street and smile without prejudice
I feel connected when we come together as a community to help one another out during storms, sharing food parcels during lockdown, planting spoons in kindy, helping families who have lost everything due to fire or other unavoidable circumstances.
That is why I #LoveHendersonMassey

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
