8 MAY NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 1483
southern rural area of Invercargill.
61 004 b Objection V Templeton
Similar to Objection 61/001
Suggested solution To include Riverton and its surrounding district in the proposed Clutha-Southland Electorate. To extend the proposed Invercargill Electorate to the east and north to include areas like Woodlands, Tokanui and Seawood Downs. Invercargill is their service town and this would protect their community of interest.
61 005 b Objection D & J Templeton
Objection similar to Objection 61/001.
Suggested solution To include Riverton and its surrounding district in the proposed Clutha-Southland Electorate. The western boundary of the proposed Invercargill Electorate should be the Oreti River as this is a natural division. An area south east of Invercargill should also be included in the proposed Invercargill Electorate as this area would have Invercargill as its centre and community of interest.
61 006 b,h Objection Hon B English MP
Objection similar to Objection 61/001.
Suggested solution To include Riverton and its surrounding district in the proposed Clutha-Southland Electorate. The proposed Invercargill Electorate become a true “Foveaux” electorate by extending out to the east over the Awarua Plain to the Mataura River and Fortrose. The eastern boundary would follow the Mataura River from its estuary up until the Wyndham-Edendale Road bridge over the river where the boundary will then run west along that road until it reaches the outskirts of Edendale where it would turn left and south and then at the end of the built-up zone, turn west and continue until it reaches the Main Trunk Railway Line which it would cross and then continue until where the town’s outskirts end on the western side, where it would turn right and go north until it meets State Highway 1. The boundary would then follow the State Highway 1 west until it meets the current eastern boundary of the Invercargill Electorate. At that point the boundary would then move north along its current border with Clutha-Southland.
61 007 b Objection E Roy MP
Objects to the inclusion of Riverton and the surrounding district in the proposed Invercargill electorate on the grounds that the proposed boundary breaks traditional boundaries and historical expectations. Riverton has been regarded as an historical icon in the western part of the province.
Suggested solution Use a more appropriate dividing line between Invercargill and Clutha-Southland so as to leave Riverton in Clutha-Southland.
