NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE

No. 146

Objection 0198 J Anderson

Objects to the proposed boundaries of Ohariu Electorate that divide Tawa and Johnsonville on the grounds that this division is inconsistent with the community of interest of the two suburbs. Suggests that the suburb of Newlands be included in Wellington Central and that the Ohariu/Wellington Central boundary be set at the north border of Khandallah Park, thus retaining Johnsonville in Ohariu Electorate.

Objection 0246 G Morgan

Similar to Objection 0198.

Objection 0694 North Johnsonville Progressive Association

Similar to Objection 0245.

Objection 0865 C Mayhew

Similar to Objection 0069.

Objection 0791 The New Zealand Labour Party

Objects to the proposed boundaries between Wellington Central, Ohariu, Porirua and Western Hutt Electorates on the grounds that the Johnsonville and Tawa communities need not be divided to such an extent. Seeks the shift of population from the 1987 Kapiti Electorate into Western Hutt rather than Porirua, allowing minimal division of Tawa and the retention of the Johnsonville Central Business District in Ohariu Electorate.

069 Island Bay

Objection 0790 The New Zealand Labour Party

Objects to the proposed boundary between Miramar and Island Bay Electorates in the Mt Victoria area on the grounds that the community need not be divided to such an extent. Seeks the use of maximum quota tolerance to include as much of the community as possible in Miramar Electorate.

Objection 0938 N F Muggeridge and 31 others

Objects to the inclusion of Northern Raroa Road, Cluny Avenue and Moana Road into Island Bay. This area is regarded as part of the suburb of Kelburn. The community of interest is towards Kelburn and not down Aro Valley. Topographically the northern end of Raroa Road and surrounding streets relate more to the Kelburn and Northland suburbs, both firmly inside Wellington Central and not Aro Valley which identifies with the Willis Street part of the city and Island Bay Electorate.

070 Miramar

Objection 0928 V C Foster and 5 others

Object to the following proposed changes for the Miramar Electorate.

The removal of the area east of Southgate and Buckley Roads to View Road and the addition of the area of the northern boundary from Majorbanks Street, southern boundary of Pirie Street, western boundary of Kent Terrace, eastern boundary of Mount Victoria Town Belt and all streets within that boundary.

The focus of the Miramar Electorate is to the eastern suburbs, not towards the city. The argument that the Mount Victoria area has a community of interest with the eastern suburbs is not sustainable. Seek the retention of the Southgate/Buckley Road area in the Miramar Electorate and that Mount Victoria south of Majorbank Street be transferred to Island Bay.

All South Island

Objection 0787 The New Zealand Labour Party

Objects to the proposed boundaries of all South Island Electorates on the grounds that serial use of large below quota differences in the 10 southernmost electorates has severely constrained the flexibility of the objection process and has also created an undesirable consequential effect on the population quotas of the northern electorates.

Seeks a more balanced use of quota differences.

072 Tasman

Objection 0083 E L Krammer

Objects to the inclusion of the rural communities of Maruia, Murchison, Owen River and St Arnaud in West Coast Electorate on the grounds of greater community of interest with Richmond/Nelson in Tasman Electorate. Regional government, service and transport links are with Richmond/Nelson. Seeks a return to 1987 West Coast/Tasman electoral boundaries.

Objection 0191 Women’s Division Federated Farmers Murchison Branch.

Similar to Objection 0083

Objection 0267 Murchison Community Health Committee

Similar to Objection 0083

Objection 0667 Tasman District Council

Similar to objection 0083. Also objects to the proposed Tasman/District Nelson boundary. Seeks that the area lying north of Champion Road be included in the Nelson Electorate.

Objection 0827 Federated Farmers Lake Rotoiti Branch

Similar to Objection 0083

Similar to Objection 0083

Objection 0976 WDFD St Arnaud Branch.

Similar to Objection 0083.

073 Marlborough

Objection 0804 New Zealand Labour Party

Objects to the proposed boundaries between Marlborough and Rangiora Electorates on the grounds that a technical adjustment would allow the balance of Kaikoura District to be included in Rangiora Electorate.

075 Rangiora

Objection 0816 New Zealand Labour Party.

Objects to the proposed electoral boundaries of Rangiora and Paparua. The exclusion of the Pines Beach area from the proposed Paparua Electorate does not best meet the criteria i.e. the community of interest between Pines Beach and Kaiapoi and the facility of communication provided by Beach Road. Suggests that the Pine Beach community and the area enclosed by Beach Road and the Pegasus Bay Walkway be included in the proposed Paparua Electorate and that the area bounded by the Northern Motorway, Tram Road and Island Road be included in the proposed Rangiora Electorate.

Objection 0942 Waimakariri District Council

Objects to the inclusion of urban Kaiapoi with Paparua which links such totally unrelated areas as Kaiapoi township (north of the Waimakariri River) with Banks Peninsula and the former Selwyn area. Recommended alternatives:

(a) A more logical topographical boundary is the Waimakariri River.

(b) Kaiapoi could be included in Christchurch North.
