It may be a quiet little seaside suburb, but affluent Mission Bay, near the entrance to the Waitemata Harbour, could dramatically change under a proposed $200 million revamp, as Auckland continues to expand.
One hundred new apartments and townhouses are planned along with a new cinema facility, and spaces for hospitality, retail and recreation, including eight level high buildings.
The Bay got its name after land was bought there in 1840 for a Melanesian Mission.
