Manukau City: Face of the future
Manukau City is the country’s third largest city. It’s also the fastest growing. 
The 2006 census put the population at 328,968 – up 16.2% on the previous census in 2001. (Statistics NZ last year estimated it to be 354,700). It’s also a diverse geographic area which covers 55,200 hectares, including rural and urban areas, and extends from the Manukau Harbour in the west across to the Waitemata and Firth of Thames in the east.
Rex de Bettancor knows Manukau City well. It’s been his patch for the past 18 years and, as principal of Quinovic-Newton, he says it’s one of the most diverse in terms of the challenges the company faces as property managers.
“We’ve just let one home in the Howick area for $1,100 a week. And at the other end of the scale we manage properties in Clendon at $190 a week.”
