A number of roads are closed and police are assisting with traffic management in the area.
Just before 4pm an emergency alert message was sent to phones in the Takapuna area warning people to avoid the area around Ander Place.
A 1News reporter on the scene said there is a strong smell of gas in the area.
It comes after an evacuation warning was in place in parts of Auckland's CBD last Thursday due to another gas leak.
Emergency services flocked to the scene of the leak shortly before 5pm, at the intersection of Customs St East and Gore St.
"The leak was caused by a crack on an isolation valve," a Vector spokesperson said.
