OTARA

Objection No. 123 Town Clerk Borough of Howick
Objects to the name of Otara and requests consideration to altering the name to East Tamaki as a large part of the electorate is already known by.

Objection No. 507 C. Taylor of Manukau City and 5 others
The area of town bounded by Preston Road, Dawson Road, Matthews Road and Boundary Road has been cut out of Otara with which it has a community of interest. People of Howick have a closer affinity to Franklin electorate.

Objection No. 509. 7 residents of Howick
Request boundary be redrawn by turning up Point View Drive after going north along Chapel Road continue straight along East Tamaki Road to the Botany Road roundabout which would leave Shelly Park and Point View Drive in Franklin.

MANGERE

Objection No. 500 Registrar of Electors, Mangere
The boundaries should have been increased, not decreased so the roll will compare more favourably with other electorates.

MANUREWA

Objection No. 499 Residents of Hillside Road Area
Wish to remain in Papatoetoe as they have an identity, existing boundaries, community of interest facilities of communication and topographical features.

FRANKLIN

Objection No. 171 Franklin County Council
Objects to the naming of the electorate and requests that it be renamed Hunua as the electorate only includes a small portion of Franklin County area, and is similar to the previous Hunua Electorate.

Objection No. 203 R.N. Smyth of Manukau
Objects to the naming of the electorate. Requests the name be changed to Manukau where 90% of the population lies.

Objection No. 223 18 signatories
The residents of Mangatangi-Miranda-Kaiaua and Whakatiwai residents objects to the proposed boundary. The area of the Franklin County Council has a natural boundary with the Hunua Ranges severing our contact with the Clevedon area other than by the Coast Road. This physical natural boundary precludes any common community of interest with the proposed Franklin electorate.
Request placing their area into the Maramarua electorate with the boundary at the north-eastern part of the Franklin County boundary from the north of Thames to Mangatawhiri the Mercer riding of the Franklin County Council. An equal adjustment in population numbers could be made by including the Ramarama area south of Papakura in the proposed Franklin electorate.
Suggest Clevedon be the preferred name of the proposed electorate.

Objection No. 224 13 signatories of Drury
Object to the proposed boundary between Franklin, Maramarua and Papakura electorates in the Drury/Ramarama area. The proposed boundary divides community between three electorates with the largest portion lying in the Franklin electorate.
Propose that these three portions of the Drury and Ramarama area be united and brought as a whole into the Franklin electorate.
Suggest the boundary follow this current boundary between Franklin and Papakura electorates from the Great South Road at Raventhorpe, along Ambush Road and Coulsons Road, across country westward to the Oira Stream and then follow that stream northward to its junction with the Drury Creek. It would then run eastward along that creek back to the Great South Road and join up with the proposed boundary again.

Objection No. 225 Hon W.F. Birch, MP for Franklin
The use of the name Franklin is a misnomer for the new seat east of Papakura. Suggests the most significant and most central name would be Clevedon as less than 20% of the population would be regarded as living in the Franklin District.

Objection No. 237 Colin Moyle, MP for Otara
Objects to the proposed boundary which lies along Dawson Road effectively cutting two primary and one secondary school off from their catchment areas.
Suggests either the boundary continue along Preston Road to the Otara Creek or use Preston Road in its entirety to Ormiston Road and then down Ormiston Road to intersect with the proposed boundary. If a population exchange was required Whitford district could be included in the Otara seat thus including Whitford with Howick where it has a close affinity.
The electorate name of Franklin is now inappropriate and the name Hunua is more appropriate.

Objection No. 491 C.W. Bull of Clevedon
Similar to objection No. 225.

Objection No. 492 Manukau City Council
Similar to objection No. 225.
Suggest the names of Clevedon, Ardmore, Hunua, Takanai or Manukau East.

Objection No. 493 R.H. Arvidson of Pukekohe
Similar to objection No. 225.

Objection No. 1761 K. W. Hamilton and 6 others
Similar to objection No. 225.

Objection No. 1762 C. Cashmere of Ruakawakawa
Similar to objection No. 225.

Objection No. 1763 F. and J. Sanders of Clevedon
Similar to objection No. 225.

Objection No. 1764 Clevedon Progressive Association
Similar to objection No. 225.

Objection No. 1766 Federated Farmers Auckland Province
Similar to objection No. 225.

Objection No. 1782 A. Searle of Drury
Similar to objection No. 224.

Objection No. 1783 G. Hall of Drury
Similar to objection No. 224.

MARAMARUA
(Objections to be read in conjunction with Coromandel)

Objection No. 148 Matahura-Waiterimu Hall Association — Ohinewai
Objects to the area being split into the Maramarua and Waikato electorates by way of the Mangapiko, Waiterimu and Tahuna Roads and breaking a community of interest.

Objection No. 149 P.R. Moxon and 30 others — Ohinewai
Similar to Objection No. 148 and suggest an alternative electoral boundary which would retain the community of interest. From the Ratawera trig down the top of the Matahuru range to the Matahuru stream at the Matahuru hall, following the stream to T Murray's boundary then up Mr Murray's boundary to the ridge, down to Lake Waikare, across Lake Waikare to Balemi road, up Balemi road across the railway and Great South road to the Waikato river.

Objection No. 175 Waiterimu School Committee — Ohinewai
Similar to objection No. 148.

COROMANDEL
(Objections to be read in conjunction with Maramarua)

Objection No. 22-65, 77-177, 131-138, 151-165, 185-195, 283-459, 544-1750, 1801-1985 M. Mackay & 1687 petitioners of Thames
Object to proposed Coromandel Electoral Boundary District using a coupon inserted in the newspaper by Alasdair Thompson.

Wording of coupon
Objects to Thames being excluded from the proposed Coromandel electorate. Thames is the main service centre and also the seat of local Government and the community of interest is not with Pukekohe or the proposed Maramarua electorate. Thames, ahead of any other population centre in the proposed Coromandel electorate, ought to be included in it.
That in excluding Thames from the proposed Coromandel electorate, the Representation Commission has seriously disregarded existing electoral boundaries. The existence and future of Thames is interwoven with the Coromandel. The Thames Coromandel area should be represented as one unit in Parliament.
In terms of the Electoral Act 1956 Section 16(1)f, Thames ought to be returned to where it belongs, as the main/ principal centre of the proposed Coromandel electorate. That the provisional
