Panmure-Ōtāhuhu
Panmure-Ōtāhuhu is an electorate to the New Zealand House of Representatives. It will be contested at the 2020 election.
Population centres
The electorate consists of the mid-eastern part of the Manukau Ward, and a long strip of suburbs along the west bank of the Tāmaki River. It is located in south-central Auckland, along the thinnest section of the Auckland isthmus.[1]
History
It was created in the 2019/20 redistribution. Rapid population growth north of Auckland resulted in a domino effect through Auckland, and Manukau East was moved northward, losing a triangular area around Puhinui to Manurewa and being extended north to Point England. Initially it was proposed to keep the name of Manukau East, but the name of Panmure-Ōtāhuhu was adopted instead after a public consultation period. The new electorate was created out of the bulk of Manukau East and the eastern section of Maungakiekie.[2][3]
