Ngaa Pou Hauora oo Taamaki Makaurau Board draws on the geographical boundary of Huakina Development Trust, established in 1983. The process of producing boundary was determined by firstly locating marae/pā and papakāinga, then focusing specifically on the outer boundary to the North, South, East and West.

• Northwest: Āwhitu papakaainga (Āwhitu)
• Northern Central: Te Puea marae (Māngere)
• Northeast: Ruapōtaka marae (Glen Innes)
• Southeast: Makomako marae (Miranda)
• Southern central: Te Paina (Meremere)
• Southwest: Pukerewa marae (Waikaretu)

Each of these groups has deep roots in the takiwā and holds special connections to the whenua that go back many generations. Each has its own stories, marae, pā, and papakāinga.
