✨ Electoral Boundary Objections




28 NOVEMBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 3737

24 Karapiro

Objection 578 Thames Environment Society

Objects to the proposed boundaries of the Coromandel electorate. The township of Te Aroha and east to the Waihou River should be included in the Coromandel electorate on the grounds of community of interest. The variation in population in making this change is not large and could be offset by moving the lower Kaimai area (south-west of Tauranga) to the Karapiro electorate.

Objection 577 Te Aroha Mining Information Group

Similar to Objection 578.

25 Tauranga

Objection 411 Whakatane & Opotiki District Councils & 1289 other signatories

See Objection 417 (33) East Cape for general reasons.

Suggested solution It is recommended that the eastern boundary of the Tauranga Electorate be moved to the east and follow an appropriate meshblock boundary in the Papamoa Ward so that approximately 1500 GEP is transferred to the Tauranga Electorate from Bay of Plenty.

Objection 462 Young Nats Kaimai

Objects to the proposed boundaries of the Tauranga electorate on the grounds that the Western Bay Region is very much one community with Tauranga as the natural centre and this has been splintered. Rural communities have been isolated from their natural service and communication centres. Two electorates representing a mix of urban, semi-urban and rural areas better serves the voters of the Western Bay Region.

Suggested solution Tauranga Harbour, Athenree Gorge and the Kaimai Range effectively isolate the region from its neighbours providing a natural boundary and this area should be split east and west to give a mix of rural and urban components.

26 Bay of Plenty

Objection 192 R G Appleford

Objects to the exclusion of a portion of the Oceandowns development in the Tauranga electorate on the grounds that by virtue of its geographical position should it be in the Tauranga electorate.

Suggested solution To use the old Mount Maunganui Borough Council boundary to separate the Tauranga and Bay of Plenty electorates.
