Objection 880 North Waikato Federated Farmers and Huntly Business Association

Objects to the proposed name of Waikato on the grounds that: (a) Huntly is the physical centre of the proposed Waikato Electorate and is identified as the centre of the North Waikato region. (b) The majority of the Electorate falls into what is known and identified currently as the “North Waikato Region”. (c) The name Waikato does not reflect the identity of the region in geographical terms as the vast majority of the Waikato lies to the east and south east of the proposed Electorate boundaries.

Suggested solution To call the new electorate North Waikato.

Objection 571 FP & C E Bethell

Objects to the electorate name

Suggested solution To call the electorate Rangiriri.

Objects to the ‘D’ classification for the Higher Salaries Commission.

22 Hamilton West

Objection 342 S Russell

Objects to the inclusion of part of the rural Waipa District in the proposed Hamilton West electorate.

Suggested solution To include this area in the Hamilton East electorate so as to create a more homogenous Hamilton West and to better service the interests of the rural voters concerned. The adjustment would be consistent with improving community of interest meets the quota criteria as well as following a natural boundary between the urban and rural communities.

Objection 572 The New Zealand Labour Party

Objects to the inclusion of areas to the immediate south of Hamilton City in the Hamilton West electorate as it is inappropriate to link a rural area with an urban electorate and therefore does not best reflect community of interest and ease of communication.

Suggested solution That part of Waipa district in proposed Hamilton West be transferred to the Waikato electorate, and the industrial zone to the north-west and those dormitory townships to the west of Hamilton City between the city boundary and the Waipa River be included in the Hamilton West seat.
