SELWYN

Objection No. 239 NZ National Party Selwyn Electorate and Ruth Richardson, MP for Selwyn

The proposed Selwyn boundaries fail to reflect the statutory requirements of existing boundaries of electoral districts, community of interest, facilities of communications, and topographical features.

The preferred remedy should be that the commission take a policy decision to cope with the loss of population to the South of Selwyn, by the elimination of an electorate to the South of Selwyn or failing this the commission should make a decision to go to the limit of the tolerances, both high and low, in order to restore a semblance of community of interest to the Selwyn boundaries.

Objection No. 518 Eyre County Council

Object to the siting of the northern boundary of the Selwyn electorate where it joins the North Canterbury electorate. The proposed boundary takes in the whole of Eyre County which is unrealistic. Suggest the northern boundary be the Waimakariri River.

Objects to southern boundary drawn for the Yaldhurst and Fendalton electorates. As there is no community of interest between the areas north and south of Riccarton—Yaldhurst road especially between the Avonhead area and the Hornby-Hei-Islington area.
