✨ Electoral Boundary Objections




Tai Rawhiti and Te Tai Hauauru. See Objection 764 (63) Te Tai Rawhiti for general reasons.

Suggested solution That Te Puku O Te Whenua move north to encompass land around, but not including Te Kuiti.

Objection 859 Kapiti Coast District Council

Objects to the proposed boundary of the Te Puku O Te Whenua electorate. See Objection 860 (65) Te Tai Tonga for general reasons and suggested solution.

65 Te Tai Tonga

Objection 78 A Waaka & 193 other signatories

Objects to the inclusion of the Ngati Kahungunu Tribal area in both the proposed Te Tai Tonga and Te Puku O Te Whenua electorates on the grounds that the tribal area should be contained within one Maori electorate and not be divided.

Suggested solution
(a) The Ngati Kahungunu tribe should be contained in one electorate, β€œTe Puku O Te Whenua”. To facilitate this, the southern boundary on the Hawkes Bay/Wairarapa side, should extend to Kaitoke.
(b) The loss of this number of electors to Southern Maori could be made up by taking in from the Waikanae River up to approximately Shannon.

Objection 860 Kapiti Coast District Council

Objects to the proposed boundaries of the Te Tai Tonga electorate on the grounds that the proposed boundary divides the Atiawa ki Whakarongotai of their traditional rohe. The suggestion that the Waikanae River provides an appropriate tribal boundary is not supported.

Suggested solution The boundary should more correctly follow the position that existed in 1840 by being moved north to Te Horo where the Mangaone Stream would be an appropriate boundary.

Objection 268 T Kamo & 10 other signatories

Objects to the inclusion of the Chatham Islands in the proposed Te Tai Tonga electorate.

Suggested solution To include the Chatham Islands in the Te Puku O Te Whenua electorate because the Maori voters on the Chatham Islands have voted in the Western Maori electorate because of the predominance of tribal links with that area. This custom should be maintained.
