The suburb makes up the southernmost part of the Auckland metropolitan area, and is located in the Manurewa-Papakura ward, one of the thirteen administrative divisions of Auckland city.

History

Until recently, Rosehill became recognised as an independent suburb. The previous area was referred to as a small area of greater Papakura, but has now developed into a high class suburban area, stretching from south of Beach Road moving down to Park Estate Road, on the eastern border of the Auckland Southern Motorway and including the area to the west of Liverpool Street as well as conjoining Opaheke Road down to Graham Tagg Park inclusive.

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

The suburb of Rosehill will now be in the Manurewa-Papakura Ward of the Auckland Council.
