East Tamaki is a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand. It is a mixed residential, light industry and retail area which is growing rapidly. Prior to the 1960s it was largely a dairy farming area. A landmark is Smales Mountain which in 2010 has the remains of an old Pa, a stone field garden, an early church, and farm homestead. A newer landmark is the Fo Guang Shan Temple which was the largest Buddhist temple in New Zealand when it opened in 2007.[1]
The area is under governance of the Auckland Council, and is located to the south-east of the Auckland city centre.
