✨ Electoral Boundary Objections

28 NOVEMBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 3755

Objection 599 The New Zealand Labour Party

Objects to the proposed electorate boundaries of East Cape, Bay of Plenty, Napier, Takapau, Wairarapa, Rangitikei, Taupo, and Rotorua electorates.

See Objection 612 (34) Napier or general reasons and suggested solution

Objection 812 Eastern Bay of Plenty Alliance Electorate Committee

Objects to the inclusion of the Opotiki district in the proposed East Cape electorate, as this conflicts with that district’s natural community of interest which is the Bay of Plenty. The Commission placed too great a weight on the boundary stability criterion relative to the weight placed on the community of interest criterion. The East Cape peninsula represents a homogeneous region. That view ignores the reality of a mountain range, the Raukumaras, forming a major divide leaving the communities to focus on their own side of the peninsula.

Suggested solution Create an East Coast electorate in which the electorate population is below the mean which would extend a little further south to take in the Tikokino Ward of the Central Hawkes Bay district. Include Opotiki district in the Bay of Plenty electorate. Draw the western boundary of the Bay of Plenty electorate slightly further east, using either the Papamoa hills as a natural topographic feature, or the Tauranga City/Western Bay of Plenty district line. The Pyes Pa area, to the south of Tauranga, could be added either to Tauranga or to Coromandel.

Objection 814 R Barker MP

Objection 604-5 P K Phin

Suggested solution All that (small) part of Opotiki district between Ohiwa Harbour and the Nukuhou River bounded by Wainui Road be included in Bay of Plenty.

Objection 603 A Hall & 20 other signatories

Objects to the proposed boundaries of East Cape with a consequential effect on the following electorates: Bay of Plenty, Napier, Takapau, Rangitikei, Taupo, Rotorua. The geographical size of the East Cape electorate is too large and disadvantages the people who live in it. Objects strongly to the Commissions statement that the proposed boundaries best meet the community of
