✨ Electoral Boundary Objections



1446 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 63

15 002 b,n,h

Objection New Zealand Labour Party

Objects to the boundaries between the proposed Epsom and Maungakiekie Electorates with a subsequent flow on affecting the proposed Tamaki and Mt Roskill electorates on the grounds of community of interest, topographical features and projected population criterion. Also objects to the proposed name of Maungakiekie.

Suggested solution

  1. Deploy the existing Maungakiekie-Epsom boundary, or perhaps better still, align with the recently promulgated Hobson-Penrose ward boundary of Auckland City.

  2. Restore the community of interest between Panmure, Mt Wellington and Otahuhu by deploying the former Auckland City-Tamaki city boundary along the creek and reserve beside Torino and Tangaroa Streets, noting that alternatives include Tuariki Street and Tripoli Road or Anderson Avenue which is an earlier Tamaki electorate boundary.

  3. Having regained parts of the Epsom, Remuera and Greenlane suburbs, the proposed Epsom Electorate would bound the proposed electorate Tamaki at Ladies Mile, Remuera Road and Orakei Road.

  4. These changes would allow more of Onehunga to be linked to Oranga preferably by using Onehunga Mall as a boundary, or some alternative such as Galway and Cameron Streets.

  5. Should the summit of Maungakiekie be moved to Epsom, as suggested, the Maungakiekie Electorate should be renamed Penrose.

15 003 b,n,h

Objection J Welch

Similar to Objection 15/002.

Suggested solution

Similar to Objection 15/002 with the addition to point 2 that the boundary could be further north to Point England Road and that the proposed Mt Roskill Electorate would gain the rest of the Wesley area probably to Lorraine Avenue.

15 004 b,h

Objection S Russell (See General 002 for details on this objector’s overall strategy for electorate changes).

Objects to the inclusion of the area south east of the North Island Main Trunk Railway Line on the grounds that other changes make it necessary to transfer population to a neighbouring electorate so that both remain within the population tolerance. Objection is also based on the grounds of the projected change in population in the proposed Maungakiekie Electorate.

Suggested solution

Transfer this area to a new Otahuhu Electorate.
