The Puketapapa Local Board is one of the 21 local boards of the Auckland Council, which replaced the previous eight Auckland councils on 1 November 2010.
The Puketapapa board, named after the Māori name for Mount Roskill, covers the suburbs of Hillsborough, Lynfield, Mount Roskill, Three Kings, Waikowhai, and Wesley.[2] The total population residing in the Puketapapa Local Board area, as of June 2015 estimate, is 59,900.[1]
The board is governed by six board members elected at-large. The first board members were elected by the nationwide local elections, which were held on Saturday 9 October 2010.
