Hastings, hastings.
Hastings has legal jurisdiction over many locations in Hawkes Bay. It adminsters for all of the regions between the Wairoa Ward, and the Central Hawkes Bay ward. This encompasses Flaxmere, Havelock North, Whakatu, Clive, Bridge Pa and many others. For all important purposes Havelock North, Flaxmere and Hastings are considered one large city, with Hastings being the main urban centre and the other two being small satellite cities.
