✨ Electoral Boundary Objections




46 West Coast-Tasman

Objection 117 Tasman District Council

Objects to the proposed boundaries for the West Coast/Tasman electorate on the grounds that there is very little, if any, community of interest between Motueka/Golden Bay and Westland. There are presently 3 major communication channels across the Southern Alps via the Lewis Pass, Haast Pass and Arthurs Pass and the air link is between Hokitika and Christchurch. There would also be difficulties in effective representation for the elected MP.

Suggested solution Horizontal slices of the South Island would on balance form better and more manageable electorates than the vertical slice proposed.

Objection 219 M G & A J Strong

Objects to the inclusion of the Upper Moutere area in the proposed West Coast-Tasman electorate. As a horticultural region the area should be included with Marlborough as the region has nothing in common with the West Coast.

Objection 332 D Freilich

Similar to Objection 117.

Objection 272 C D Strong

Similar to Objection 117.

Objection 273 M D Strong

Similar to Objection 117.

Objection 385 N S Thawley

Similar to Objection 219.

Objection 384 C Hynd

Objects to the proposed boundaries of the West Coast-Tasman electorate on the grounds that the electorate is far too big too achieve effective representation.

Objection 271 L R Mathison

Similar to Objection 384.
