3 unusual facts about Papakura North


Papakura North

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.

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.

Papakura North is home to the national headquarters of the New Zealand Special Air Service, a branch of the New Zealand Army.
