LOCATION - NORTH SHORE CITY.
North Shore City boasts a lifestyle and environment that set
it apart as a destination for homemakers, pleasure-seekers and business people.
The natural advantages of a warm climate, beautiful beaches, and spectacular
scenery contribute to the popularity of one of the most vibrant and fastest
growing regions in New Zealand. A stable and educated workforce, meanwhile, make
it a prime location for commercial and industrial development with 198,900
residents living within an area of approximately 12,979 hectares, it is the
countrys fourth largest city. Surrounded by sea, the city has an unbroken 148km
urban coastline - the longest in the country. Residents can enjoy an endless
range of aquatic activities - or venture inland, where there are more than 400
parks and walkways through native bush reserves. This is a city where growth and
development is carefully managed and protection of natural beauty and a clean
environment is a prime consideration. North Shore City is made up of three wards
(Northern, Central and Harbour), each ward comprising two communities. These
communities include historic Birkenhead/Northcote and Devonport, with their
turn-of-the-century wooden houses, and in the north, the tree-clad hills around
Albany. In between are well-established and high quality residential areas,
Glenfield and Takapuna, and the attractive seaside suburbs and greenfields of
East Coast Bays. The city is home to high quality retail centres,
attractively-designed industrial parks, leading educational institutions,
world-class sports and leisure facilities, six libraries, and modern hospitals.
A theatre and conference facility for North Shore City - the Bruce Mason Centre
- opened in 1996. Albany is being developed into a major commercial and
recreational centre over the next 20 years, and is home to the North Shore
Domain, a multi-purpose entertainment, sporting and recreational facility,
capable of staging important international events, with the 25,000-capacity
North Harbour Stadium at its heart.

Turkish Lions offer, but are not familiar with web publishing. They've already
set up many sites for Lions Clubs world-wide, using Lionwap.

message in the Ekibin Guest Book by clicking on the image above. This is a FREE

what?
All your Club has to do it have some-one update and maintain your page, which
needs not take more than a few minutes each month. The Ekibin Lions will even
give you some tips on that!
