Otara (New Zealand electorate)

It existed for four parliamentary terms and was represented by three members of parliament, two from Labour and one from National.

The 1981 census had shown that the North Island had experienced further population growth, and three additional general seats were created through the 1983 electoral redistribution, bringing the total number of electorates to 95.

The electorate was established in the 1984 election, and Colin Moyle of the Labour Party was its first representative.

In the 1993 election, Trevor Rogers moved east to the new Howick electorate, which covered higher-income suburbs that traditionally voted for National.

Taito Phillip Field won the electorate against Mr. Frith of National.
