✨ Objections to Electoral District Name Change

28 NOVEMBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 3723

Otara is not unique as there is one east of Bluff and one south of Opotiki and is of relatively recent origin.

Objection 81 C L O’Brien and 5 others

Objection 82 P & H Greenbank

Objectors see Papatoetoe as representing the heart and Otara as representing its supporting organs. This reflects the history of the two neighbourhoods with Papatoetoe having city status up until the recent amalgamations.

Objection 89 A H Boyle

Objection 91 W J Whitburn

Objection 126 N Gilbert

Objection 128 H E Davis

Papatoetoe is also a Maori name meaning the land where the toi toi grows which is very suitable for the electorate, more so than Otara.

Objection 139 F R & D Withers

Objection 178 V E & I M Goodger

Objection 191 L R Bright

Objection 216 L A Drake

Objection 231 J R, L M & CE Jaggard

Objection 235 M J Forbes

Objection 455 D Poole

The following persons or organisations object to the proposed name of Otara for historical reasons and because of the negative connotations associated with the name of Otara which the name Papatoetoe doesn’t have.

Objection 16 J & L Denne

Objection 48 A Jermaine as Principal of Papatoetoe Intermediate School

Both are Maori names and are multi-cultural population centres but the word Papatoetoe has greater historical significance and a more positive connotation than Otara.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
