Welcome to the Pohutukawa Coast Times

The Pohutukawa Coast Times is a well-established and independently owned weekly community newspaper based in Beachlands, servicing the picturesque Pohutukawa Coast and rural areas of south-east Auckland.

Owners Duncan and Fran Pardon say the advantage of living and working in the area for nearly 30 years is their well-developed news network and thorough understanding of what interests their readers.

The paper's exclusive circulation area includes Whitford Village, the coastal settlements of Pine Harbour, Beachlands, Omana, Maraetai, Umupuia, Kawakawa Bay and Orere Pt as well as the adjacent local rural communities of Clevedon, Ness Valley, Brookby, Alfriston, Ardmore, Hunua and Paparimu.

Published each Friday, the paper carries the latest news articles and feature stories on local issues sourced from community groups, local government, schools, sports clubs and businesses.
