General Description
The Ikaroa-Rawhiti electorate comprises the East Coast, Hawke’s Bay and Wairarapa regions. It also includes Upper Hutt, part of Lower Hutt and all of Wainuiomata.
Summary of Reasons
The Ikaroa-Rawhiti electorate is under the permitted quota range, while Te Tai Tonga is over quota. The Commission has balanced these two electorates against each other with no effect on other boundaries. The balance occurs by changing the Te Tai Tonga boundary in the North Island to follow an east-west line through the Hutt Valley. The western hill areas of Hutt Valley and the Taita and Naenae areas move into the Ikaroa-Rawhiti electorate. Te Tai Tonga retains the coastal areas, Wellington Harbour fringe and adjoining river flats.
