✨ Electoral Boundary Objections




3798 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 126

inclusion of Broomfield, Hei Hei and Islington. It is widely acknowledged locally that the inclusion of Broomfield, Hei Hei and Islington cuts across established communities. (4) Proposed inclusion of Hornby. Hornby maintains strong links with Sockburn, Addingdon and Sydenham. (5) Proposed exclusion of Hoon Hay and Hillmorton. The suburbs of Hillmorton and Hon Hay are separated from greater Christchurch by the Heathcote River. The 7160 inhabitants therefore are detached by a topographical feature from the suburb immediately to the east. (6) Proposed partial inclusion of Opawa. The adoption of the Heathcote River as the electorate’s northern boundary. (7) Proposed partial inclusion of Woolston. These people should naturally be included as part of the New Brighton electorate. (8) Proposed division and exclusion of the greater part of Motukarara. The proposed boundary splits the community of Motukarara. A boundary along Hudsons Road would maintain this community of interest.

Objection 735 New Zealand National Party, Selwyn Electorate

Objects to the name Mt Herbert.

Suggested solution To call the electorate Banks Peninsula.

54 Rakaia

Objection 247 M V & L Burney and 18 other signatories

Objects to the exclusion of Motukarara from the proposed Mt Herbert electorate on the grounds that the area around Motukarara has always been recognised as part of Banks Peninsula. Its community of interest will be fragmented by the proposed boundaries.

Suggested solution To move the proposed boundary south to Hudsons Road. This would allow the area surrounding Motukarara to be part of Banks Peninsula.

Objection 394 M H & I McCallan

Similar to Objection 247.

Objection 267 H R Murdoch

Objects to the inclusion of Motukarara in the proposed Rakaia electorate on the grounds that Motukarara has always been recognised as part of Banks Peninsula. Its community of interest will be fragmented by the proposed boundaries.

Suggested solution To move the proposed boundary south to Judson Road and allow the area surrounding Motukarara to be part of Mt Herbert electorate.
