Hutt South

Hutt South is a parliamentary electorate in the lower Hutt Valley of New Zealand. It is currently held by Trevor Mallard of the Labour Party. 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 Lower Hutt, Hutt Valley, Naenae, Petone, Wainuiomata, and Eastbourne. At the first MMP election in 1996, Hutt South replaced the earlier electorate of Pencarrow, which was then held by Trevor Mallard.
