Weiti Village, also called Weiti Bay, is a rural settlement north of Auckland City, New Zealand. It is under the local governance of the Auckland Council.
Weiti Village is on the north shore of the Ōkura River,[3] and is separated from the rest of Auckland by the Okura Bush Scenic Reserve.
The settlement is a developing gated waterfront community, with the first houses completed in 2021.[4] Protests were mounted against the development in 2018 on the grounds of potential damage to the Long Bay-Okura Marine Reserve.[5][6]
