Essentially this land was stolen from the natives at the start of the land wars, Leonie Hayden puts it well in her article<\/a> on the matter:<\/p>\n

Ihum\u00c4\u0081tao, a west-facing peninsula on the shore of Auckland\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Manukau Harbour, is the city\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s oldest settlement. In 1863, the land was illegally confiscated from M\u00c4\u0081ori. Sacred hills were quarried, 800-year-old burial sites were demolished, archaeological remains were destroyed, a sewage-treatment plant was built over traditional fishing grounds, and a dye spill killed the local creek. Now Ihum\u00c4\u0081tao has been designated a Special Housing Area, without public consultation, and a development of nearly 500 houses is in progress. But for some tangata whenua, enough is enough.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
