Hutt South is a parliamentary electorate in the lower Hutt Valley of New Zealand. It is held by Ginny Andersen of the Labour Party following the 2020 election. It was previously held by Chris Bishop of the National Party[1] Bishop's victory was the first time Hutt South has been held by a National Party MP since the electorate was created in 1996. Labour regained the electorate subsequently in the 2020 New Zealand general election.
Population centres[]
The electorate is based on the southern part of the city of Lower Hutt. It was formed in 1996 from the old electorates of Pencarrow and Eastern Hutt. Hutt South consists of the southern suburbs of Lower Hutt, Petone, Wainuiomata, and Eastbourne.[2]
Following the 2014 boundary review, Hutt South lost Naenae and a small part of Epuni to Rimutaka, in exchange for the suburbs of Kelson and Belmont. It also gained the suburbs of Tirohanga, Harbour View, Normandale, Maungaraki and Korokoro from Ōhariu, meaning the entire Hutt Valley was now covered by just two electorates (Rimutaka and Hutt South).
Since 2014, the following suburbs of Lower Hutt fall within Hutt South.[3]
- Alicetown
- Belmont
- Boulcott
- Days Bay
- Eastbourne
- Epuni (south of and including Roberts Street)
- Fairfield

History[]
At the first MMP election in 1996, Hutt South replaced the earlier electorate of Pencarrow, which was then held by Trevor Mallard. Mallard was returned at every general election until he moved to list-only at the 2017 election.[4]
