the southern Rimutaka boundary, with Naenae College transferring to Pencarrow, and High Street being the appropriate boundary between Onslow and Pencarrow.

42 Onslow

Objection 31 G Ormsby & L Campbell

Objects to the proposed name of Onslow on the grounds set out in Objection 07 (01) Northland.

Suggested solution To call the electorate Tawa because of its historical association with the area and its links with the tangata whenua of the electorate

Belmont also gives its name to a large regional park with access from both sides of the range and is in keeping with the custom of naming electorates that have several major population centres after a prominent and central geographical feature.
