✨ Electoral Boundary Objections



Collingwood, Takaka, Motueka, Tapawera, St Arnaud, Blenheim and Picton. That a Lewis electorate be established that includes the communities of Karamea, Westport, Reefton, Hanmer Springs, Culverden, Kaikoura, Cheviot and Rangiora. That an Arthurs electorate be established that includes the communities of Hokitika, Greymouth, Arthurs Pass and all of the present Selwyn Electorate. An alternative option would be to keep the top of the south Pelorus electorate as suggested above, then keep the rest of the coast together and include it in an electorate that moves across the Southern Alps at Arthurs Pass, to join with the present Selwyn Electorate.

47 Kaikoura

Objection 333 G H & B J E Gillman

Objects to the inclusion of the community of Woodend in the proposed Kaikoura electorate on the grounds that Woodend is a communal part of the overall area centered on the township of Rangiora and to a lesser extent Kaiapoi.

Suggested solution To continue the proposed boundary along the Ashley River to the coastline, thus leaving Woodend in the Waimakariri electorate.

Objection 389 S F Allard

Objects to the inclusion of Woodend and Waikuku in the proposed Kaikoura electorate. The residents of Woodend and Waikuku pay rates and elect councillors to the Waimakariri District Council. Primary education is provided at Woodend and secondary education normally at Rangiora. Residents look to Rangiora, Kaiapoi and Christchurch for their employment, cultural, social, economic and recreational needs and activities. Maori living in the Waimakariri electorate who have not taken the Maori option would not wish to be separated in electoral terms from their cultural heritage at Kaiapohia Pa, from which Kaiapoi takes its name.

Suggested solution To include these two areas in the Waimakariri electorate on the grounds of community of interest. The southern boundary of the Kaikoura electorate to commence at the sea to the north of the Ashley River. Following the Ashley River west to the Ashley Gorge, then south along Ashley Gorge Road to take in Oxford. West along Island Road and Woodstock Road to include Gammans Creek, Coopers Creek and View Hill and then west to take in the Puketeraki and Dampier Ranges as already provided.
