✨ Electoral Boundary Objections



14 JUNE 2007 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 65 1717

N19

Manukau East

N19 001 n

Objection B R Costley

Objects to the name ‘Manukau East’ for the proposed electorate as the electorate is no longer in the east of Manukau City.

Suggested solution Name the electorate ‘Manukau’ or ‘Otara’.

N19 002 b, h

Objection B Mockridge

Objects to the splitting of the Botany Ward of Manukau City Council across four electorates, and particularly to the inclusion of parts of the ward in the proposed Manukau East electorate.

Suggested solution The Tamaki River should be used as a boundary. If the Pakuranga electorate retains its existing boundary, then most of the Botany Ward could be included in the Howick electorate. The Manukau East electorate could then include the whole of Otahuhu, and be renamed ‘Otahuhu’.

N19 003 b

Objection NZ Labour Party – Botany Downs Branch

Supports the boundaries for the proposed Manukau East electorate.

N19 004 b, h

Objection Manukau East Labour Electorate Committee

Supports the majority of the boundaries of the proposed Manukau East electorate. However, would prefer the historic community of interest of Papatoetoe to be maintained by extending the boundary along the length of Portage Road.

N19 005 b, h

Objection New Zealand National Party – Northern Region

Objects to the inclusion of the area between Te Irirangi Road and Chapel Road in the proposed Manukau East electorate. This area shares a strong community of interest with Howick and the rest of the Botany area.

Suggested solution Include this area in the Howick electorate.

N19 006 b, h

Objection M Williams, Chairman – Botany Community Board

Similar to N19/002.

Suggested solution Proposes a different approach to drafting electoral boundaries based around community of interest and topography. This would allow, for example:

  • a ‘Howick/Botany’ electorate;
  • Glen Innes and Panmure to be in the Maungakiekie electorate;
  • Manurewa to be kept in the Manurewa electorate;
  • Otahuhu to be in the Papatoetoe electorate; and
  • Otara to be in a ‘South Auckland’ electorate.
