context_page_description: Camborne, New Zealand is a hilltop and seaside suburb of Porirua City developed over a 35-year period from the 1960s, initially by an investment company headed by a Mr Arthur Cornish. It was named after Camborne, Cornwall, and most of its street names are of Cornish origin, but its main through street is "Pope Street", named after William George Pope who was an honoured former resident of the immediately adjoining suburb of Plimmerton.
  Much of it is within 5 minutes' walk of the Porirua Harbour, and most houses on the higher parts have views of the harbour and/or the green inland hills and/or the open sea and Mana Island.
  Camborne is unusual among suburbs in New Zealand, in that it does not have any shops. However, commercial requirements can be met in Plimmerton and Mana shopping centres within walking distance, and recreational and education facilities are nearby. The Porirua City Centre is 5–10 minutes' drive to the south-west, and central Wellington is usually no more than 25 minutes away via State Highway 1, or by electric train from the stations at Mana and Plimmerton.
