Catalina Bay is named after the majestic flying boats of the same name that served the RNZAF in their heyday and made Hobsonville Point their home base.
The Catalina was a versatile amphibious aircraft that was widely used during WWII.
They were known for flying long distances due to their ability to carry immense amounts of fuel. They were able to fly hundreds of miles out to sea and locate remote German boats that believed they were safe from attack.
The Catalinas also served New Zealand and the Pacific long after the war in rescue and humanitarian missions.
At the end of each journey, the Catalina would home in, landing on the safe flat waters at Catalina Bay.
Home is where the heart is, and now, long after the Catalinas have gone, Catalina Bay is being developed as a haven for new residents seeking someplace special to call home, just like the Catalinas did over half a century ago.
The Piritahi Alliance is proud to continue the wonderful tradition started by the beautiful flying boats, laying the foundation for new homes for families and new residents.
Our teams have been working on half a hectare of land in this area, upgrading infrastructure to support the construction of new apartments and the redevelopment of streetscapes.
