✨ Electoral Boundary Objections



14 JUNE 2007 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 65 1725

N27 Coromandel

N27 001 b, h Objection T L Turner

Supports the boundary for the proposed Coromandel electorate, as it
is aligned with the traditional Maori boundary from Te Aroha to
Moehau.

N29 Bay of Plenty

N29 001 b Objection B R Costley

Objects to the proposed Bay of Plenty electorate, as the boundary
with Tauranga splits a community of interest.

Suggested solution Redraw the Tauranga and Bay of Plenty
electorates into an east-west division. One electorate could be based
on Tauranga-Otumoetai-Matakana and the other on Mt Maunganui-
Welcome Bay-Papamoa. The names ‘Tauranga East’ and ‘Tauranga
West’ could be used.

N29 002 b, h Objection S Russell

Objects the name ‘Bay of Plenty’ for the proposed electorate. While
the name was appropriate for the electorate when it was first
established, its boundaries no longer include the eastern and central
parts of the Bay of Plenty and the name is no longer appropriate.

Suggested solution Name the electorate ‘Western Bay of Plenty’.

N30 Rotorua

N30 001 b Objection L M Scott

Objects to the inclusion of the Kaimai district, south of State
Highway 29 and including Omanawa and McLaren Falls, in the
proposed Rotorua electorate. This area shares a strong community
of interest and communication facilities, including roads, with the
Western Bay of Plenty.

Suggested solution Include the Kaimai district in the Bay of Plenty
electorate. If necessary, other areas, such as Maketu, would be more
appropriate to move.

N30 002 b, h Objection S Russell

Similar to N30/001.

Also objects to the inclusion of the Matahina-Minginui and
Murupara areas, as these share a community of interest with the rest
of the Whakatane District in the East Coast electorate.

Suggested solution Run the boundary between the Rotorua and Bay
of Plenty electorates along the natural boundary from the Mamaku
plateau east to State Highway 36 (Pyes Pa Road), north to Te
Rerenga stream and downstream to the Kaituna River.

Transfer the Matahina-Minginui and Murupara areas to the East
Coast electorate.
