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

As well as the current Papakura District, all other territorial authorities will be abolished and the entire area will be dissolved into a single Auckland city council. The suburb Pahurehure will now be in the Franklin Ward of the Auckland Council.
