✨ Electoral Boundary Objections
28 NOVEMBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 3761
Objection 817 M Laws MP
Objects to proposed name of Napier.
Suggested solution The name Hawkes Bay should be retained. Napier is not an adequate description of a seat that would include Flaxmere and Twyford. If the Takapau seat boundaries remain, Tukituki is proposed as a replacement name
Objection 612 The New Zealand Labour Party
Objects to the proposed electorate boundaries of Napier, East Cape, Bay of Plenty, Takapau, Wairarapa, Rangitikei, Taupo, and Rotorua electorates on the grounds that: (i) the East Cape electorate, in stretching from the Eastern Bay of Plenty to Southern Hawkes Bay is untenably and unnecessarily large. (ii) the inland areas of Whakatane District currently form part of the proposed coastal Bay of Plenty electorate, and of the Rotorua electorate and might more logically form part of a restructured East Cape electorate. (iii) the suburb of Flaxmere should be part of a Hastings oriented electorate. (iv) the Bay View area of Napier City should be part of the Napier electorate. (v) the rural area generally, but not exclusively, south of Waipukurau identifies more strongly with the Wairarapa region than the Hawkes Bay region. (vi) The Waiouru area of Ruapehu District should be united in the Taupo electorate.
Suggested solution The unification of Bay View (and surrounding communities) within a Napier based electorate.
Objection 816 M Laws MP
Objects to the proposed boundaries of the Napier, Takapau and East Cape electorates.
Suggested solution An ‘Option C’ proposes re-drawing the electoral boundaries to retain the integrity of the Hastings and Napier urban areas. It splits the central Hawkes Bay areas in two - the eastern half, including the towns of Waipukurau and Waipawa, and the western half is placed in East Cape. ‘Option C’ was developed out of Working Party discussions with regional interest groups.
The Napier based electorate extends beyond Whirinaki in the north, around and including Eskdale, Puketapu, Moteo, Fernhill, Waikokowhai, Clive, Whakatu and Te Awanga.
The Hastings based electorate follows that suggested for Napier in the North, around (and including) Flaxmere, Longlands, Pakipaki, Poukawa, Opapa, Pukehou, Waipawa, Waipukurau, Flemington and Mangarapa to the coast.
