✨ Electoral Boundary Objections
28 NOVEMBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 3767
community of interest and topographical features. The proposed split of Paraparaumu-Raumati Beach-Raumati South areas will rupture shared life interests. Two major topographical features of the area have been overlooked. The Manawatu River, in the north, and the outcroppings of the Paekakariki hill form natural boundaries. An anomaly occurs at Himatangi Beach.
Suggested solution The Manawatu River should become the northern boundary of the Otaki electorate. The southern boundary should be coincident with the Kapiti Coast District Council boundary. Irrespective of this being accepted, all of Himatangi should be in the Rangitikei electorate. Boundaries to the south should be ‘rejigged’ to accommodate these changes.
Objection 823 Kapiti Coast District Council
Objects to the proposed division of the District Area between the proposed Mana and Otaki Electorates. Changes are sought to have the Kapiti district and part of Horowhenua included within the one Electoral Area. The solution will have flow-on effect to the Taupo, Rangitikei, Onslow, Wellington and Rongotai electorates
Suggested solution. Include entire area of Kapiti Coast District with the Otaki Electorate. Rename Otaki Electorate as Kapiti Electorate. Remove part of Kairanga and Kerekere Wards from Otaki Electorate for inclusion in the Rangitikei Electorate. Remove Waiouru Ward from Rangitikei Electorate for inclusion in Taupo Electorate. Make subsequent adjustments to the Onslow, Wellington and Rongotai Electorates. These would include moving some of the Tawa/Linden area into the Mana Electorate and part of the Onslow Ward of Wellington City into the Onslow Electorate.
Objection 621 C Rudd
Objects to the proposed name of Otaki.
Suggested solution To call the electorate Horowhenua for Maori cultural, historic and tourist promotional reasons.
Objection 622 J E Aburn
Objects to the proposed boundary for the Otaki electorate. By establishing the boundary of Mana and Otaki electorates at Kapiti Road the Kapiti District has been split without regard for traditional links, community of interest or territorial boundaries.
Suggested solution Shift the southern boundary of the Otaki electorate south to a line approximately through ‘McKay’s Railway Crossing’, thus restoring the residential areas of Raumati, Raumati Beach and Raumati South to the proposed Otaki Electorate.
