Located in the suburb of Auckland in the northern part of New Zealand. Papakura was originally independent before it became a district in 1989. Geographically, Papakura is blessed with fertile land, the foreshore and inlet of the Manukau Harbour make up most of this beautiful part of the district. Now a popular suburb, Red Hill offered a strategic advantage point for the indigenous Maori people. Papakura is also home to popular sports facilities including a swimming pool, international-quality athletics track among others. The Papakura military camp which was established in 1939 in the outskirts of the town, still remains to be an important army base for New Zealand. It incorporates the SAS training area and in 2000 some of the lands were set aside for developments of new housing. The place is also a great base for going on a day tour in Auckland.
