The criteria set by section 16 (f) of the Electoral Act have not been fulfilled and community of interest makes the strongest case to retain Kelburn in Wellington Central.

Objection No. 195 C. G. Hayward, NZLP Rangiora Electorate.

Due to community of interest factors Kainga, Stewards Gully and Brooklands should be retained in Rangiora. Also that area of Parklands to the south and west of Mairehau Road should be included in Avon.

Objection No. 109 Alan McRobie of Christchurch.

(i) Makes several observations as to how electorates should be formed, in particular changes should be kept to a minimum, i.e., Timaru and Ashburton. This is not the case for Avon and other Christchurch electorates where changes are unnecessarily disruptive. Research shows electors place great emphasis on continuity of representation and existing electorates should be maintained within population limitations.

(ii) Papanui should be called Christchurch North, Saint Kilda and Saint Albans should revert to Saint Kilda and Saint Albans and for consistency West Auckland should be Auckland West.

(iii) Boundary of Yaldhurst should follow Peer Street along its new extensions.

(iv) Near Avondale Bridge the boundary of Avon should follow the Avon River.

FENDALTON

Objection No. 16 Town Clerk, Riccarton Borough.

Council objects to the name of the electorate, would be more appropriate to be called Riccarton.

CHRISTCHURCH CENTRAL

Objection No. 10 Secretary Christchurch East Branch N.Z. Labour Party.

Suggests the boundary of Christchurch Central revert to its former position along Dudley Creek and Avon River from Averill Street through to Kerrs Reach. The river forms an effective barrier and the community of interest is split along this boundary.

Objection No. 51 N. E. Champion of Christchurch.

Similar to Objection No. 10 in that Dallington should be included in St Albans.

Objection No. 54 Secretary St Albans Residents Association.

Similar to Objection No. 109 in that the boundary should follow the Avon River, Bowe Avenue and Travis Road.

SYDENHAM

(i) Cashmere Stream / Bridgemere Lane / Homecroft Courts — approximately 50 people involved.

(ii) Nos. 112-160 Sparks Road—Approximately 50 people involved.

(iii) Nos. 233-337 Hendersons Road—Approximately 80-100 people involved,

be included within this electorate on the basis of community of interest.

Objection No. 45 Secretary, Bromley Branch N.Z. Labour Party.

The area bounded by Moorehouse Avenue, Ferry Road, Ensors Road and the Railway Line is more identified with Christchurch Central than Sydenham. The division created by the railway line causes a split of community of interest and the branch objects to the alteration.

Objection No. 128 J. Phillips of Linwood.

Similar to Objection No. 45.

SELWYN

Considers it vital that the borough should retain its links with Dunedin. There is a close association both economically and historically with the city, and it is essential to be united.

Similar to Objection No. 8 in that community of interest and communication factors have not been taken into account and that the existing boundary should be retained.

As West Harbour is a suburb of Dunedin the area is more easily serviced from the centre of the city rather than Queenstown.
