Objection 296 Wanganui District Council

Objects to the proposed name of Waitotara which is not a true identification of the electorate. Wanganui is the major business, recreational and main population base for the new electorate. The Whanganui River is the most significant and central geographic feature of the electorate. The river is culturally significant as providing a major recreational and tourist attraction and is the main feature of the Whanganui National Park. There has been a Wanganui Electorate since 1853. Waitotara is a very small rural settlement with no significant business operating from it.

Suggested solution To call the electorate Whanganui.

Objection 320 M J Parnell

Objects to the proposed name of Waitotara.

Suggested solution To call the new electorate Whanganui/South Taranaki on the grounds that 84% of the population reside within the Wanganui area. Historically Wanganui has always been an important cultural, communication and distribution centre. The Whanganui River is an important tourist attraction with Wanganui the gateway.

Objection 323 R J Parnell

Similar to Objection 320.

Suggested solution To call the electorate either Wanganui or Whanganui.

Objection 321 E A Smith

Objects to the proposed name of Waitotara on the grounds that Wanganui is a city with very fine cultural, sporting and educational attributes.

Suggested solution To call the electorate Wanganui.

Objection 322 E Fairbridge

Objects to the proposed name of Waitotara.

Suggested solution To call the electorate either Wanganui or Whanganui on the grounds that Wanganui has existed for some 152 years, it was the first settlement after the four main centres to be formed. Waitotara only embraces a very small area and would convey very little to the rest of New Zealand.
