Coromandel (New Zealand electorate)

Coromandel is a New Zealand electoral division returning one member to the House of Representatives.

[3] Together with increased urbanisation in Christchurch and Nelson, the changes proved very disruptive to existing electorates.

To the south of the electorate is the Hauraki District which contains the main townships of Paeroa, Waihi and Ngatea.

It also extends an arm down into the Bay of Plenty, to take the towns of Katikati and Ōmokoroa, with its southern boundary on the edge of the Tauranga urban area.

Following the 2006 Census of Population and Dwellings, the Representation Commission decided to move the southern boundary of Coromandel away from Tauranga, so that Katikati will be the only large Bay of Plenty town in the seat.

In exchange for this, the eastern Waikato town of Te Aroha has been transferred from the newly abolished seat of Piako.

This is the largest change in Coromandel's makeup to date, and the new seat was fought for the first time at the 2008 election.

The new MMP Coromandel electorate was won by Murray McLean of the National Party in 1996.
