Puke-i-Ä€ki-Rangi, commonly known as Point View, is a hill in East TÄmaki Heights, New Zealand.
Puke-i-Ä€ki-Rangi is a 142-metre hill in East TÄmaki Heights, [1] overlooking East Auckland. [2] The hill is surrounded by a 29 ha (72 acres) reserve. [3]
Puke-i-Āki-Rangi is known as a habitat for the rare New Zealand long-tailed bat. Native birds can also be found at the reserve, including tūī, pīwakawaka, kererū and riroriro. [3] Much of the hill is surrounded by regenerating native forest. [3]
The name Puke-i-Ä€ki-Rangi originated from NgÄi Tai ki TÄmaki, and literally means "The Hill That Way Propelled Skyward". An alternate name used by NgÄi Tai is Puke-ariki ("Hill of the Chief"). [1] The location was the site of a defended pÄ, and during European times the hill gained the name Point View Pa. [4]
In 1994 the East TÄmaki Reservoir was constructed in Point View Reserve. [5] In 2015, the New Zealand Government reached a treaty settlement with NgÄi Tai ki TÄmaki. During this process, the hill was officially gazetted as Puke-i-Ä€ki-Rangi. [6]
