✨ Electoral Boundary Objections




Objects to the inclusion of Opotiki in the proposed East Cape electorate on the grounds that Opotiki people travel east to work not west to Gisborne. Sporting links are not with Gisborne and most travellers go via Whakatane not Gisborne, eg hospitals. All local Maori affiliation is with tribes other than Ngati Porou. Local Government recently reviewed the boundaries and made no change.

Suggested solution The dimensions of East Cape electorate without Opotiki District would be much easier on the MP. The addition of Opotiki District will not add greatly to the commitment of the Bay of Plenty MP.

Objection 119 B Paul & 2 other signatories

Objection 328 Gisborne District Council

Objects to the boundaries of the proposed East Cape electorate. Central Hawkes Bay has little affinity with the area, while the inclusion of Bayview in the electorate ignores totally any consideration of community of interest.

This can be achieved by using the minimum possible level of population. When the population of the electorate is reduced it should be reduced from the southern end to better reflect community of interest considerations. Ohiwa Harbour should remain fixed as the northern boundary.

Objection 346 S Russell

Objects to the inclusion of the Maraekakaho Ward of Hastings District within the proposed East Cape electorate.

Suggested solution Fernhill and, if necessary, Bridge Pa be included in the Napier electorate. The remainder of the ward be included in the Takapau electorate. This proposal will greatly
