✨ Electoral Boundary Objections



3800 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 126

Suggested solution

To move the north boundary of Waitaki to include Geraldine; put the boundary between Waitaki and Otago on the Waitaki River; and making any residual adjustments necessary to Leith and/or St Kilda where Mosgiel, Outram or Waikouaiti, for example, are better linked to Dunedin.

Objection 488 Timaru District Council

Objects to the boundaries of the proposed Waitaki electorate, in particular the exclusion of Geraldine. Geraldine’s business, commercial, cultural and sporting links are with Timaru. It is not in the best interests of efficient Local Government that on the one hand Geraldine is part of the Timaru District and on the other its national political interests should be to the north. It is also highly undesirable that an electorate should be divided by a major river such as the Waitaki.

Suggested solution

The southern boundary should be moved north to the Waitaki River and the northern boundary should be moved north to the Rangitata River.

Objection 489 Timaru District Council

Similar to Objection 197.

Objection 46 M O Hely

Objects to the proposed name of Waitaki which should be known as Timaru or South Canterbury. No grounds given.

Objection 197 Waimate District Council

Objects to the proposed name of Waitaki which should be known as South Canterbury as that is the recognised name of the area of land the new electorate covers.

Objection 221 E Ludemann

Objects to the proposed name of Waitaki which should be known as either Timaru, South Canterbury, Aoraki or Aorangi. Reasons are similar to Objection 197.

Objection 228 D R Parker

Objects to the proposed name of Waitaki which should be known as South Canterbury on the grounds of community of interest.

Objection 337 E A Rollinson

Objects to the proposed name of Waitaki which should be known as South Canterbury as the majority of the new electorate have no identity with the name Waitaki.
