community of interest, communication and topography (map included).

Objection 0819 Mercury Bay Business Association
Object to the splitting of the Coromandel Peninsula.

Objection 0851 Thames Coromandel District Council
Objects to the boundary for the Coromandel and Hauraki Electorates which severs existing communities of interest and compounds the error made by the last Commission which removed the town of Thames from its communities. The present Maramarua Electorate severs Thames Township from the remainder of the Coromandel Peninsula. Likewise the new Coromandel Electorate severs the north of the Coromandel from Thames. Suggest the Coromandel Electorate follow the territorial boundaries of the Thames-Coromandel and Hauraki District Councils. This would allow the communities of interest which exist within these areas to be recognised.

Objection 0919 B G Darragh
Objects to the proposed electoral boundary between Kaimai and Coromandel Electorates at Te Puna and Bethlehem on the grounds that it alters the existing well recognised boundary and divides the community of interest in both the Te Puna and Bethlehem areas. Submits that both these areas should remain in the Kaimai Electorate.

Objection 0929 N A Turner and 19 others
As residents of Coromandel and Colville Districts of Coromandel consider they should be incorporated in the Hauraki Electorate with which they have a community of interest, facilities of communication and topography (map included).

033 Raglan

Objection 0263 Pukekawa Ratepayers Association
Objects to their inclusion in the Raglan Electorate. Community of interest is in the Franklin District. Suggests the boundary of the Maramarua Electorate be re-defined so as to incorporate that part of the Franklin District Council territory which lies south of the Waikato River.

Objection 0265 R J and W G C Thomas
Object to the proposed boundary between Franklin and Raglan Electorates on the grounds of community of interest. Seek that the proposed Franklin Electorate boundaries follow the new Franklin District boundary south of the Waikato River.

034 Waikato

Objection 0247 C S Hunter and 354 others
Object to the proposed boundary between Matamata and Waikato Electorates. Residents of the area object to being transferred from the Waikato Electorate into Matamata Electorate. All facilities are based in Hamilton and Cambridge and not Morrinsville or Matamata. There is a substantial range of hills, the Mangaweka, which effectively isolates this district from the Matamata Electorate. The only communicating road is Waterworks Road. Seek retention of 1987 boundary (map included).

Objection 0845 R N Hynson
Objects to the inclusion of Hillcrest and Silverdale within the Waikato Electorate. There is no community of interest between these Hamilton City suburban areas and the rural towns and localities included in the same electorate. Suggests that boundaries be re-drawn to provide three seats for Hamilton City with an average of 33,816 per seat based on Hamilton’s total population.

035 Hamilton West

Objection 0984 R N Hynson
Objects to the inclusion of Pukete, Te Rapa, St Andrew’s and Newton within the Raglan Electorate. There is no community of interest between the Hamilton City suburban areas and the rural towns and localities situated from north of Aotea Harbour to Port Waikato. Undue consideration has been given to existing boundaries. Suggests that boundaries be re-drawn to provide three seats for Hamilton City with an average of 33,816 per seat based on Hamilton’s total population. This has a precedent in the division of Dunedin. The rural electorates of Raglan and Waikato would need to be enlarged to compensate for the loss of population to a new Hamilton seat.

039 Kaimai

Objection 0040 New Zealand National Party Kaimai Electorate
Objects to the exclusion of part of the Port of Tauranga, namely Sulphur Point, from the Kaimai Electorate on the grounds that the Port of Tauranga is an entity and is administered from Mt Maunganui where the bulk of the installation is sited. Seeks the inclusion of all the Port of Tauranga in the Kaimai Electorate.

Objection 0668 Bethlehem-Tauriko Ratepayers Association
Objects to the Kaimai/Coromandel boundary change. The proposed change cuts off 510 people of the Bethlehem community from the Kaimai Electorate. Community of interest is to the Bay of Plenty and not Coromandel. The natural and district boundary is the Wairoa River and not the Te Puna Stream. Suggests Bethlehem North be returned to the Kaimai Electorate.

Objection 0131 R J and K N Edmonds
Similar to Objection 0668.

Objection 0911 C A and H R Hoy
Object to the Kaimai/Coromandel boundary change, affecting the community of Bethlehem, which will divide the community down the middle and also cut it off from Tauranga City with which it has community of interest. The natural boundary is the Wairoa River.

041 Tarawera

Objection 0798 The New Zealand Labour Party
Objects to the proposed boundaries between Eastern Bay of Plenty, Tarawera, and Kaimai Electorates on the grounds that they split communities of interest in the Edgecumbe and Omarooa Wards (Whakatane District), Te Puke Ward (Western Bay of Plenty District) and Papamoa Ward (Tauranga District).

Seeks the movement of Edgecumbe and Omarooa Wards into Tarawera Electorate, and the balance of the Te Puke and Papamoa Wards into Kaimai Electorate.

043 Eastern Bay of Plenty

Objection 0797 The New Zealand Labour Party
Objects to the proposed name of this electorate as being too loquacious. Suggests any of the following names: Whakatane, Opotiki, Tuhoe, Bay of Plenty.

Objection 0965 The Alliance
Objects to the exclusion of the area within the Whakatane District which is to the west of the Rangitaiki River from the Eastern Bay of Plenty Electorate. On the grounds of community of interest. Secondly, the inclusion of the Waikohu
