Wiri is a mostly industrial-commercial focused suburb in Auckland, New Zealand. It was formerly part of Manukau City until the merger of all of Auckland's councils into the 'super city' in 2010. The area was named after the chief Takaanini Wirihana.
The Wiri inland port connects road freight to the Ports of Auckland on the Waitemata Harbour further north. The inland port allows the Ports of Auckland to reduce the number of trucks that have to travel through the Auckland Central area by up to 100,000 trips per year.[3]
Auckland Region Women's Corrections Facility (ARWCF) is located in Wiri. ARWCF is the first purpose-built women's prison in New Zealand to accommodate a growing number of female prisoners and services in the upper North Island. The facility can accommodate 286 prisoners and employs 167 staff.[4]
The adjacent Auckland South Corrections Facility is a high security men's prison which opened in 2015.[5] It is operated by Serco New Zealand under a Public Private Partnership with the Department of Corrections.[5] at 20 Hautu Drive, Wiri.[6]
As part of the Auckland railway electrification project, the $100 million EMU maintenance and stabling depot was built on 4.4 hectares of the old Winstone Quarry in Wiri, located next to the South-Western Motorway and bordered by Roscommon and Wiri Station Roads. It was officially opened by the Mayor of Auckland on 5 July 2013.[7]
The Wiri railway station was opened from 1913 and closed in 2005 due to low patronage, the EMU maintenance facility was built on the former site.
The Matukutūruru (Wiri Mountain) and Matukutūreia (McLaughlins Mountain) volcanoes are in Wiri. Much of the land within the suburb of Wiri was formed through lava flows originating from these mountains.[8]
