✨ Electoral District Objections



3690 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 126

01 Northland

Objection 495 Tutukaka Coast Residents and Ratepayers Association

Objects to the inclusion of the Tutukaka Coast in the proposed Northland electorate. The Tutukaka Coast is basically a dormitory suburb for the Whangarei industrial and commercial area. The residents’ community of interest is to Whangarei and share more in common with Whangarei than do residents of the Maungaturoto or Wellsford.

Suggested solution The northern boundary of the Whangarei electorate should be extended to Woolley Bay, along the road to the headwaters of the Ngunguru River, down the river through the forest and either follow the Mangahahuru Stream or a forestry road to take the boundary back to State Highway 1 on one or other side of Kauri

Objection 767 J A Cox

Objects to the proposed boundaries of the Northland electorate. The areas of Ruawai, Matakohe, Ararua and Paparoa have no community of interest nor share any allegiance with the Far North communities. Their community of interest is with Whangarei

Suggested solution The northern Whangarei boundary should come across south of Kamo, follow State Highway 14 to Tangowahine, then follow the northern Wairoa River to south of Dargaville and continue straight across to the coast.

Objection 07 G Ormsby & L Campbell

Objects to the proposed name of Northland on the grounds that as Maori are the first people of this land they have a right to apply their names to all places. Non Maori names are inappropriate. Maori is also the official language of this country meaning there is a legal obligation to use the original names of this land.

Suggested solution To call the electorate Te Rerenga Wairua because of its historical association with the area and its links with the tangata whenua of the electorate

02 Whangarei

Objection 397 J B Harrison

Objects to the exclusion of Pataua North from the Whangarei electorate as Whangarei is the main centre for Pataua.

Suggested solution The whole of Pataua Village should be in the Whangarei electorate.
