On community of interest grounds. Waitara and Clifton form part of Taranaki and that King Country should include Taumarunui Borough and County and also Waimarino Waitotara and Wanganui. Taupo should be restored to a “Tongariro” electorate and Wairoa linked to Gisborne.

Objection No. 167 District Clerk, Waitomo District Council.

Objects to the loss of Taumarunui and the addition of Waitara, Inglewood and Stratford. The proposed boundaries break up the traditionally recognised King Country region. Suggests Raetihi could be added to Tongariro.

Objection No. 120 A van Raat of Wanganui.

Objects on the basis that Bastia Hill is a separate and compact residential suburb that is dependent on the City for all services. More reasonable to select an area for attachment to Waitotara that has an existing relationship.

Similar to Objection No. 120.

Objects to the placement of that portion of the county previously in Manawatu Electorate, in Rangitikei.

Objection No. 20 Secretary, Rongotea Branch of Federated Farmers at Foxton.

Similar to Objection No. 11. The 197 members object to being included in Rangitikei as the area of Oroua Downs, Taikorea, Glen Oroua, and Rangiotu have little affinity with the area to the north of No. 3 State Highway.

Objection No. 66 Secretary, Rongotea Community Council.

Similar to Objection No. 11. As the natural affinity is with Palmerston North and the Manawatu the existing boundaries should not be changed.

Objection No. 94 Secretary, Sanson Community Council.

Objection No. 57 Secretary, North East Wairarapa Rural Action Committee.

Objects to the area covered by Tinui to the north, Whareama and Homewood to the south being split by an electoral boundary. Suggests the original Castlepoint Ward boundary would provide a better line.

Suggests an area at Kibblewhite Road should be included in Masterton.

KAPITI

Objection No. 150 D. Armitage of Porirua.

Suggests the proposed boundary is an absurdity and a more logical line would follow Niagara Street and its extension to the county boundary. It would also form a division for the suburbs of Waitangirua and Tairangi.

PORIRUA

Objection No. 80 Porirua Returning Officer.

Advises the present boundary line is a more suitable definition of the Cannon’s Creek area and considerable difficulties will arise in enrolling electors within the proposed boundaries. Also the area of Grenada North should be included in Porirua as the road access is through this electorate not Ohariu.

Objection No. 81 Te Awaiti, He Karere Ki Pari-Rua.

Similar to Objection No. 80 objecting to the new boundary through Waitangirua.

Objection No. 113 Chairperson, Cannons Creek Community Council.

Similar to Objection No. 113.

Objection No. 117 J. J. Terris, M.P. for Western Hutt and T. J. Young, M.P. for Eastern Hutt.

WELLINGTON CENTRAL

Objection No. 119 President, Oriental Bay Ratepayers and Residents Association.

Require a sensible conclusion to keep their community intact.

Objection No. 175 B. H. Paton of Wellington.

Advocates the use of Regional names when appropriate for the electorates and raises objections to Waikato (Te Rapa), Tongariro (Tokoroa, Taumarunui, Tokaanu, Turangi or Wairakei), East Cape (Tokomaru, Whangaparaoa, Waimana or Waiapu), Waikaremoana (Ngariu, Ballantrae, Batten, Bledisloe, Hilary, Rutherford, Te
