Police were called to a Shore Rd, Remuera address by St John Ambulance staff at about 10.50 this morning after a woman's body was discovered on the property's lawn.
Police have launched a homicide investigation and are underway with a scene examination and area inquiries in and around Shore Rd.
The deceased has not been removed from the scene as yet.
Police do not believe residents of the Shore Rd address are connected with the woman's death.
Detective Inspector Kevin Hooper says it appears she was attacked somewhere nearby and we'd like to hear from anyone who may have seen a Caucasian woman in exercise gear on Shore Rd or nearby, any time between 10am and 10.50am.
