National MP Sandra Goudie is to retire from politics at this year's general election.
Ms Goudie, who has been the MP for Coromandel since 2002, announced her retirement today, saying after nine years it was time to "park up the Falcon".
"I shall always treasure driving my faithful purple Ford Falcon V8 through our electorate ... We have a beautiful electorate and great people."
Ms Goudie said she was proud of the work she had done in the region, noting in particular the construction and opening of the Whangamata Marina, and the progress on the Kopu Bridge.
"It has been a real honour to serve as MP for Coromandel, and to be part of the National-led Government which is doing great things for New Zealand."
