Manukau East electorate boundaries used since the 2014 election

Manukau East is a New Zealand parliamentary electorate that was first formed for the 1996 election. It has since been held by Ross Robertson, who has announced his retirement at the 2014 election.

Population areas

In 2007, large changes were made to the Manukau East electorate. Its northern boundary extended past the Tāmaki River to almost as far as Sylvia Park Rd to incorporate Middlemore, Otahuhu and Westfield. Its eastern boundary shifted west to East Tamaki Rd resulting in East Tāmaki and Botany Downs being included in the new Botany electorate. Most of Otara and Papatoetoe West are now also included in the electorate.[1]

In the 2013 electorate boundary review, it was found that Manukau East electorate is above quota (based on the 2013 census). The draft proposal by the Representation Commission sees some population at Westfield to be transferred to the Maungakiekie electorate.[2]

History

Manukau East was created for the 1996 election. It has only been represented by one Labour MP, Ross Robertson, and is considered one of Labour's safest electorates.[3] On 6 June 2013 Robertson announced that he would retire from Parliament in order to pursue a career in local body politics.[4]

Members of Parliament

Unless otherwise stated, all MPs terms began and started at general elections.
