'''Flaxmere''' ({{langx|mi|Paharakeke}}) is a township in the [[Hastings District, New Zealand|Hastings District]] and outlying suburb of [[Hastings, New Zealand|Hastings City]], in the [[Hawke's Bay Region]] of New Zealand's North Island.

==History==
The original European owner of the land was Sir [[William Russell (New Zealand politician)|William Russell]], for many years of local member of parliament and [[Leader of the Opposition (New Zealand)|Leader of the Opposition]] from 1894 to 1901. Russell called his estate Flaxmere. When Hastings City Council needed to expand, subdivision of the land started in 1963 and in the following year, the area was incorporated into the area held by the (then) city council. The subdivision was named after the original estate name.<ref>{{cite web |title=18. Flaxmere |url= https://www.hastingsdc.govt.nz/assets/Document-Library/Heritage-Trails/Hastings-Urban.pdf |publisher=Hastings District Council |access-date=18 December 2020}}</ref> Russell's son, [[Harold Russell (politician)|Harold Russell]], inherited a homestead ''Little Flaxmere'' and land that was part of original estate. This is today located in nearby [[Twyford, New Zealand|Twyford]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Schamroth |first1=Melina |title=It's goodbye to Little Flaxmere |url= https://knowledgebank.org.nz/text/newspaper-article-1992-its-goodbye-to-little-flaxmere/ |work=[[Hawke's Bay Herald-Tribune]] |access-date=18 December 2020 |date=12 February 1992}}</ref>

For the subdivision Hastings City Council bought {{Convert|455|acre|abbr=on}}, which had {{Convert|150|acre|abbr=on}} zoned for industry, 40 acres for Flaxmere Park and {{Convert|12|acre|abbr=on}} for Flaxmere Shopping Centre, including a car park for about 600 cars.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Hawke’s Bay Photo News 1966 – Number 096 October|url=https://knowledgebank.org.nz/text/hawkes-bay-photo-news-10-october-1966/|access-date=2021-08-28|website=knowledgebank.org.nz|language=en-NZ}}</ref>

==Description==
Flaxmere was built to cater to the housing demand of Hastings. It was intended to be an upper-middle class subdivision, but because land was subdivided into smaller lots, it became a low income neighbourhood.

It has a small shopping centre with a petrol station, post office, bakery, video store, butchery, indoor rock climbing centre, and various other businesses offering necessities and/or leisure. Other amenities include a library, police station, several churches and Flaxmere Waterworld, an indoor swimming complex.

==Education==

Flaxmere has four state primary schools, which provide education for years 1 to 8:
