Papakura Local Board

The Papakura Local Board is a community board in the Auckland Region that oversees several neighborhoods between Alfriston and Drury, including Takanini, Hingaia, and Red Hill. These areas fall under the governance and local representation provided by this elected body.

The Papakura Local Board was established in 2010 as part of a wider reorganization of local governance in Auckland. It functions as one of 21 local boards within the Auckland Council structure.

The board area reflects New Zealand's diversity with a population comprising 36.7% European, 24.6% Māori, 20.5% Pasifika, and 34.2% Asian residents.

Residents can attend public meetings at 35 Coles Crescent in Papakura or contact board members directly through the Auckland Council website. Regular sessions allow community members to participate and raise local concerns.

The median age of 32.3 years in the Papakura Local Board area stands notably below the national New Zealand average of 38.1 years.
