Ohariu is an urban electorate, covering the northern suburbs of Wellington. It includes the Wellington suburbs of Crofton downs, Chartwell, Ngaio, Khandallah, Johnsonville, Newlands Paparangi, Grenada Village, and Grenada North, Horokiwi, the Ohariu Valley, as well as most of Tawa.
From the 2014 General Election it will cease to include the Korokoro, Maungaraki, Normandale, Harbour View and Tirohanga areas of Lower Hutt and will add the suburb of Wadestown as a result of the Representation Commission's changes to the country's electorate boundaries. For more information and details on the change process undertaken by the Commmission please click here.
Ohariu has the largest number of 30-49-year-olds in the country, and the highest number of families earning between $70,000 and $100,000 per year. 80% of its population is New Zealand European, 10% Asian and 6% Māori.
Peter Dunne has been MP for Ohariu (previously known as Onslow and Ohariu Belmont) since July 1984, serving as a Labour MP until 1994, and representing United (now UnitedFuture) since 1994.
