13 Tamaki

Objection 229 S Russell

Objects to the inclusion of the suburbs of Panmure and Glen Innes in the proposed Tamaki electorate on the grounds that the proposed new electorate joins two communities which have no common community of interest. Panmure and Glen Innes are about the poorest area in Auckland City, whereas St Heliers and Mission Bay are about the wealthiest.

Suggested solution (a) The suburbs of Panmure, south of Pt England be added to Mt Smart, while the suburb of Ellerslie, north of the Ellerslie-Panmure Highway between Great South Road and Mt Wellington Domain is transferred to Tamaki (which should perhaps be renamed if this is done). This proposal joins Panmure with Mt Wellington, Oranga and Onehunga which are similar communities, while Ellerslie is joined with the neighbouring communities to the Northeast - where it fits better with regards community of interest than it does with Onehunga and Oranga.”

(B) By adding Glen Innes to Mt Smart as well as Panmure. Tamaki will extend to include the northern end of Ellerslie, and shift south of the Orakei Basin westwards to Upland Road. In return for its losses to Tamaki, Epsom would absorb the suburb of Royal Oak from Mt Smart, establishing a clearer boundary than that proposed presently, along Mt Albert Road and Campbell Road. In addition, Owairaka would cede the eastern side of Three Kings to Epsom, and gain the remainder of Hillsborough from Mt Smart. The consolidation of Hillsborough with Owairaka, and the transfer of Royal Oak into Epsom would improve the community of interests. The boundary between Tamaki and Mt Smart would be less neat, but would represent a far better division of the communities involved. (Again, the name Tamaki would need to be reconsidered if this is done, perhaps in favour of Eastern Bays).

Objection 535 J G Vosper

Objects to the proposed boundaries of the Tamaki electorate.

Suggested solution To include Pakuranga West between Pakuranga Highway and Bucklands Beach Road, including Bucklands Beach. The Tamaki electorate could bridge the Tamaki Estuary. This may be better for communities of interest.

Objection 534 The New Zealand Labour Party

Objects to the proposed electoral boundaries of Mt Smart, Otara, Mangere and Manurewa with consequential adjustments affecting
