b, h
Objection D J Laird
Objects to the proposed boundary for the Hamilton West electorate as there is no allowance for population growth, which raises concerns of voter equity.

N24
003
b, h
Objection NZ Labour Party
Similar to N24/001 and N24/002
Suggested solution Move the Ngahinapouri, Tuhikaramea and Koromatua areas into Taranaki-King Country. The Horotiu area could be added to Hamilton West, if necessary.
Bay of Plenty
N28

Objection G M Campbell and 18 others
Objects to the area south-east of Girven Road in the existing Tauranga electorate being moved into the proposed Bay of Plenty electorate as the area’s community of interest lies with Tauranga.

N28
002
b
Objection New Zealand First Party
Objects to the inclusion of the Waimapu and Poike areas of Tauranga being included in the proposed Bay of Plenty electorate as their community of interest lies with Tauranga.

b, h
Objection NZ Labour Party
Similar to N28/001
Suggested solution Similar to N28/001.
Semi-rural areas such as Tauriko, Wairoa Pa and Bethlehem could be moved into the Bay of Plenty electorate.
Taranaki–King Country
N31
001
b
Objection L P Hobbs
Objects to the inclusion of Te Awamutu in the proposed Taranaki-King Country electorate on the grounds of community of interest. Te Awamutu’s community of interest lies with the Waikato region, rather than Taranaki.
Suggested solution Divide New Plymouth in two with one half taking in the west and south of Taranaki and the other extending across the National Park area towards Taumarunui and Taihape. The Waipa District towns fit much better with those of the South Waikato District and perhaps the northern Karapiro towns could link with Coromandel.
