History
In boundary changes announced for the 2008 general election, the electorate of Banks Peninsula will lose its rural population centres. It will become a solely urban electorate and will be renamed Port Hills. It is expected that the change will see Port Hills become a safer Labour seat. Up to 1996, the first MMP election, Banks Peninsula was part of the now defunct Lyttelton electorate.
