Coromandel electorate has no community of interest with the northern section

Suggested solution Create two City/Rural electorates in the Bay of Plenty total area using Tauranga as a pivot point. The southern boundary of Coromandel be between Kati Kati and Waihi or Waihi and Paeroa. The northern boundary of the East Cape electorate be between Edgecumbe and Matata.

Objection 585 L J Christie and 20 other signatories

21 residents of the community of Oropi and Upper Pyes Pa area object to the proposed boundaries of the Coromandel electorate on the grounds that the communities of interest are being divided. The area is a farming community with links to Te Puke. The whole area would be best served by being included in the Bay of Plenty electorate.

Suggested solution To adjust the proposed boundary between Bay of Plenty and Coromandel electorates by taking the boundary west from a point adjacent to Jacks Lane on the Waiorahi Stream, to pass north of Williams Road, Taumata Road, and Belk Road south to a point adjacent to Peers Road on the Omanawa Stream, then southwards to meet the present proposed boundary.

Objection 799 Western Bay of Plenty District Council

Objects to the splitting of the Western Bay of Plenty District into two electorates that do not have any community of interest with the Western Bay of Plenty area. The Western Bay of Plenty comprising the Western Bay of Plenty and Tauranga Districts, has a strong focal point on Tauranga City and the Port of Tauranga.

Suggested solution Western Bay of Plenty and Tauranga Districts be combined to form two electorates. Two possible options are:

(a) Leave Tauranga as proposed with the remainder (including significant parts of Tauranga District), forming a second, more rurally orientated electorate. (b) Split the combined districts in half, approximately along the line of State Highway 29 to the Tauranga Harbour (Waimapu Estuary). Although this option splits the Districts, the Western Bay of Plenty community of interest is maintained.

The Bay of Plenty Region population provides for four electorates (population of 208,161). These could be established as follows:

(i) Two electorates based in Western Bay of Plenty. (ii) One based in Eastern Bay of Plenty comprising Whakatane, Kawerau and Opotiki Districts. (iii) One electorate based on the Rotorua District.
