General Description
The Bay of Plenty electorate extends along the coast from the Katikati Entrance of Tauranga Harbour southeast to the mouth of the Kaituna River (excluding the section along Mt Maunganui). It extends inland to the Kaimai Range and includes the communities of Omokoroa Beach and Te Puke.
Summary of Reasons
The existing Bay of Plenty electorate loses significant population to East Coast. This deficit is addressed by creating an electorate which wraps around Tauranga and includes Matakana Island and the southern portion of the existing Coromandel electorate.
