Hingaia is a rural coastal suburb of Auckland, New Zealand. It is located on the shores of the Pahurehure Inlet, to the southwest of the Papakura Town Centre.

History[edit]

During the major reformation of local government in 1989, Hingaia 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 Hingaia is part of the Manurewa-Papakura ward.
