General Description
The Taranaki-King Country electorate comprises the communities of Te Awamutu, Otorohanga, Te Kuiti, Ohura, Stratford and Inglewood, but excludes New Plymouth, Oakura, Waitara, Eltham, Hawera and Opunake.
Summary of Reasons
The existing electorate is under quota (-5%) and has a decreasing population relative to quota. As a result of population adjustments made to Whanganui and New Plymouth, considerable change was required. The northern boundary now includes Raglan and the Pirongia Ward south of Hamilton.
