No. 63

33 004 b,h Objection E F Hill
Objection is similar to Objection 33/001.

Suggested solution Similar to Objection 33/001 with the addition that to address possible resulting imbalance in numbers the Chathams, instead of being brought into the proposed Napier Electorate should be attached to the proposed Mahia Electorate.

33 005 b Objection Gisborne District Council
Similar to Objection 33/001 but makes the point Gisborne has a wider community interest through First Light Tourism with Opotiki and Wairoa.

33 006 b,h Objection NZ Labour Party
Similar to Objection 33/001.

Suggested solution The north western boundary of the proposed Mahia Electorate be moved further west to include Ohope. In the south of the proposed electorate the boundary be moved to the Ngaruroro River from a point on the Rangitikei Electorate boundary to its intersection with the proposed Tukituki Electorate. Area thus excluded from Mahia would form part of the proposed Tukituki and Napier Electorates.

33 007 b,h Objection NZ National Party, Napier Electorate
Objects to the south and south eastern boundary of the proposed Mahia Electorate as electors in the southern area would be better served if the common boundaries with the proposed Napier and Tukituki Electorates were adjusted to reflect the historical Hawke’s Bay Regional/Provincial area. These better reflect community interest and communication.

Suggested solution The southern boundary of the Mahia Electorate be the Mohaka River while the common Tukituki/Napier boundary be the Ngaruroro River to Fernhill. Should this require some corresponding minor adjustment to maintain Mahia’s population then this should be effected between Mahia/Bay of Plenty and Mahia/Rotorua Electorates.

33 008 b,h Objection A M Wedd on behalf of Hawke’s Bay Federated Farmers
Objects to the proposed boundaries in that the proposed Mahia Electorate is too large, there is no community of interest between the Hawke’s Bay region and the remainder of the electorate, and that the proposed boundaries have made it impossible for electors in the Mahia Electorate to have reasonable access to their elected representative.

Suggested solutions Relocate all electors south of Tutira in either the Napier or the Tukituki and Napier Electorates. The preferred option being that voters up to the boundary of the Ngaruroro River be included in the Napier Electorate. In addition Mahia take Chathams from Napier.
