West Harbour is a suburb of Auckland, located to the west of Auckland City. It is named for its location on the western side of the Waitemata Harbour. West Harbour is under the governance of Auckland Council after the amalgamation of district Councils in 2010. Historically a suburb of the former Waitakere City territory district, however it has long been considered that this suburb does not form a part of West Auckland.
