Features
Aside from the urban developments in Summerhill, Massey University and Aokautere (south of the Manawatu River) and the town of Ashhurst, Ashhurst-Fitzherbert Ward is mostly rural. Most of the ward is along the foothills of the Tararua Ranges. Ashhurst-Fitzherbert Ward is the gateway to Palmerston North, from the east, south east and south.
Because of the higher ground on the south bank of the Manawatu, there are spectacular views of the Ruahine Ranges and the northern parts of the city. On a clear day, it is possible to see Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe and Taranaki.
