The Papakura Local Board area extends from Drury in the south to Alfriston in the north, and includes Takanini, Hingaia, Red Hill, Pahurehure and the current Papakura town centre.
State Highway 1 and the North Island Main Trunk Railway run north to south through the area, and Papakura is the third busiest station on the Auckland rail network.
The area has a theatre, an art gallery, an international-standard athletics track, aquatic centre and a wide range of other sports venues. A wide range of businesses operate in the area.
The area has a varied geography: from harbour foreshore, fertile plains, and rolling hills to the foothills of the nearby Hunua Ranges.
