History

Recently, Pahurehure became recognised as an independent suburb. The previous area was referred to as a small area within Papakura, but has now developed into a suburban area, stretching from north of Beach Road moving up to Ray Small Park on the eastern border and including the entire peninsula located on the western side of the southern motorway.

During the major reformation of local government in 1989, the Pahurehure area was included into the Papakura District boundaries.

In 2010, after a review of the Royal Commission on Auckland Governance, the entire Auckland Region was amalgamated into a single city authority. As well as the former Papakura District, all other territorial authorities were merged into a single Auckland Council. The suburb of Pahurehure is part of the Papakura Local Board within the Manurewa-Papakura ward.
