11 SEPTEMBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 3075

(c) The southern portion of Christchurch North could move to Yaldhurst and the southern and western areas of Yaldhurst could be absorbed into the surrounding areas of Paparua.

(d) This option still remains secondary to our wish to form a North Canterbury Electorate—north of the Waimakariri River.

Objection 0970 Marlborough East Coast Residents
Seek exclusion from the Kaikoura District and suggest Marlborough electoral boundary be altered south from the Clarence River to Ohau Point to coincide with their proposed boundary change.

076 Paparua

Objection 0007 P Stewart
Objects to the exclusion of Darfield from the Paparua Electorate on the grounds that Darfield’s community of interest lies with Christchurch rather than with Ashburton. Seeks the use of maximum quota allowances so that the 1987 boundaries are reinstated.

Objection 0081 J M Taege and 27 others
Object to the exclusion of Darfield from the Paparua Electorate on the grounds that this area does not have a community of interest with Ashburton. Seek a return to the 1987 boundaries with only such minor alterations as are strictly necessary so that Darfield is included in an electorate between the Rakaia and Waimakariri Rivers and Malvern and Eyre areas are returned to within the 1987 boundaries.

Objection 082 T and H Taege
Similar to Objection 0127. In addition suggest maximum quota allowance be applied and the size of the Rakaia Electorate is too large to service.

**Objections 0127-0130, 0179-0180, 0275-0280, 0813, 0831, 0832, 0926, 0969, 0973, 0981, 0983, 0988, 0990, 0991. R F James and 216 others. Petition against the dissolution of Selwyn and the creation of the proposed Paparua Electorate.

(1) Object to the creation of the proposed Paparua Electorate.

(2) Object to the inclusion of the former Malvern County in Rakaia Electorate on the grounds that:
(a) community of interest of this area is based in Christchurch and its western suburbs
(b) facilities of communication and transport within the majority of the ex Malvern County including the Waimakariri Basin and Arthurs Pass will be totally isolated from the Rakaia centre which would probably be based in Ashburton.
(c) the Selwyn name already has significance in the topographical area with the boundary of the electoral districts being naturally defined by the Waimakariri and Rakaia rivers running easterly from the main divide which would not be the case with the inclusion into the Rakaia Electorate.

Objection 0178 C and M M Paterson
Similar to Objection 0127 (Petition). Adds that maximum quota allowances be applied to retain existing boundaries.

Objection 0181 P and S Henderson
Similar to 0178.

Similar to Objection 0284.

Objection 0809 F A Bull
Similar to 0127 (Petition).

Objection 0812 A McRobie
Objects to the proposed electorate name of Paparua on the grounds that no clearly defined geographic area known as Paparua exists. Suggests that the electorate be renamed Lincoln after the population centre of Lincoln.

Objection 0821 R Richardson, MP
Objects to the elimination of Selwyn Electorate on the grounds that the Commission have been inconsistent in their use of quota tolerances when dealing with Selwyn Electorate, and are consequently at odds with the statutory criteria. Seeks the use of maximum quota tolerances to allow minimal changes to the 1987 Selwyn Electorate:

(1) The transfer from Rangiora Electorate of an area south of a line through View Hill, Coopers Creek, Oxford and Bennetts.

(2) The transfer to Rakaia (Ashburton) of an area south of a line along Selwyn Road, Ellesmere Junction Road, generally around the northern periphery of Lincoln and then along Hudsons Road to Lake Ellesmere.

Objection 0855 R M Newton
Similar to Objection 0821.

Objection 0859 M E Baylis
Objects to the proposed boundaries of Paparua Electorate on the grounds that there is better community of interest in the present largely rural electorate. Seeks the use of quota allowances to the greatest extent to retain 1987 boundaries.

Objection 0982 D W and F J Smith
Similar to Objection 0821.

Objection 0989 H G and M H Schuurman
Similar to Objection 0007.
