✨ Electoral Boundary Objections



28 NOVEMBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 3793

the grounds that the boundary should follow the Heathcote River, a much more positive boundary that roads.

Suggested solution That the boundary between these electorates follow the Heathcote River from its mouth to the headwaters at Wigram and Hornby should shift from Mt Herbert to Addington.

Objection 722 The New Zealand Labour Party

Objects to the proposed boundaries of the Addington, Mt Herbert, Ilam, New Brighton, Christchurch and Rakaia electorates. See Objection 844 (53) Mt Herbert for general reasons and suggested solution.

Objection 720 A McRobie

If boundary changes suggested in Objection 721 and 732 (53) Mt Herbert are adopted then it is proposed that the westernmost of these two electorates be named Heathcote as the Heathcote River rises in the Hornby area and flows across the middle of the electorate before flowing along the edge of the Port Hills to the estuary. Alternatively, the name of Middleton, a geographic locality close to the centre of the proposed electorate, could be considered.

Objection 721 A McRobie

Objects to the proposed boundary of the Addington and Mt Herbert electorates. See Objection 732 (53) Mt Herbert for general reasons and suggested solution.

Objection 727 M Vernon

Objects to the inclusion of the Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association grounds inside the proposed Addington electorate.

Suggested solution To include the area in the Mt Herbert electorate.

53 Mt Herbert

Objection 737 J G Rutherford

Objects to proposed boundaries of Mt Herbert and Addington on the grounds that Hornby has a different demographic aspect to the remainder of the electorate.

Suggested solution Put Hornby into Addington Electorate. The Heathcote River would provide a boundary around the foot of the hills and the peripheral small holding area on the south and east of the city and that such would be preferable to a part river and part street boundary using Ferry Road etc. By following the river in the general direction of Wigram additional areas of Hoon Hay would be taken in, which would approximately compensate for the loss of Hornby.
