History
Papakura North became recognised as an independent suburb when the Papakura District was overtaken by Auckland's urban sprawl, and was separated from the other areas east and west of the town centre. The previous area was referred to as a small area of greater Papakura, but has now developed into a single suburban area, stretching south of the Addison complex, west of the Southern Railway Line (parallel to Porchester Road), down to Old Wairoa Road, and right to the western border of the Papakura Military Camp.
Papakura District was a local council territory in New Zealand's Auckland Region that was governed by the Papakura District Council from 1989 until 2010. The area makes up the southernmost part of the Auckland metropolitan area.
Arimu Road and Russell Road properties were originally vacated by army personnel, until the mid-1990s when they were sold off for private use. However this area still remains a Defence Area as ordered by the NZ SAS for security purposes. Access points to the Papakura Military Camp on Russell Road and Walters Road are secured by electric fencing and the area is not listed in Google Maps. The speed limit down the north side of Arimu Road still remains 30 km/h and the surrounding area is often monitored by army staff. Training exercises often take place in the restricted camp area.
