Hunua (New Zealand electorate)

Hunua is a New Zealand parliamentary electorate, returning one Member of Parliament to the New Zealand House of Representatives. It is located in the Auckland region, generally southeast of Auckland City.

The electorate was first formed for the 2008 general election, largely replacing the former Clevedon electorate. Its boundaries have been adjusted in subsequent boundary reviews, primarily to account for population growth. Historically, Hunua has been a National Party stronghold, although its margins have varied over time.

The electorate covers a mix of urban and rural areas. It includes parts of the Auckland suburbs, as well as more rural areas further south and east. Its demographics reflect this mix, with a blend of urban and rural communities.

Prominent towns and suburbs within the Hunua electorate have included, at various times, Clevedon, Papakura, Drury, and areas surrounding the Hunua Ranges. The precise boundaries of the electorate are defined by electoral boundary commissions and are subject to change before each general election.
