✨ Electoral Objections




3748 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 126

Objection 382 F, C & K Smith

Similar to Objection 63.

Objection 143 R A Jackson

Objects to the proposed name of Waitotara which should be known as Whanganui as it encompasses much of the area associated with the Whanganui river and its catchment along with all of the Wanganui District and urban area. The bulk of the population of the new electorate is made up of people primarily associated with Wanganui. If Whanganui is not suitable then the electorate should be known as Wanganui. On grounds of sensitivity objector believes Whanganui is by far a more suitable title.

Objection 295 Petition B Hudson & 216 other signatories

Objects to the proposed name of Waitotara. Electorate should be known as Whanganui as 84% of the potential electors are living within the Wanganui District Council boundary. There has been a Wanganui Electorate continuously, without name change, for nearly 140 years. The former settlement of Waitotara and its name is no longer significant, with no Post Office or commercial establishments and in local government terms was absorbed in 1987 by the Wanganui Country.

Suggested solution Electorate should be named Whanganui.

Objection 416 Wanganui Chamber of Commerce

Similar to Objection 295.

Objection 297 B Quin

Similar to first sentence of Objection 06. Wanganui is also the business and social focus for the great majority of the region.

Suggested solution To call the electorate Wanganui or Whanganui.

Objection 298 Wanganui Branch - Federation of University Women (Inc.)

Objects to the proposed name of Waitotara which should be known as Wanganui or Whanganui. Wanganui has been a European population centre for 153 years. It is vital that a community retains its unique identity as an electorate.

Suggested solution To call the electorate Wanganui or Whanganui.
