History
In boundary changes for the 2008 general election, the electorate lost its rural population centres to newly formed Selwyn, becoming a solely urban electorate and was renamed Port Hills. The change saw Port Hills become a safer Labour seat. Up to 1996, the first MMP election, Banks Peninsula was part of the now defunct Lyttelton electorate.
