✨ Electoral Boundary Objections




14 JUNE 2007 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 65 1727

N32 002 n

Objection B R Costley

Objects to the name 'Taranaki-King Country' for the proposed electorate, as much of the Taranaki region is no longer included.

Suggested solution Change the name to 'King Country' or 'Waitomo'.

N32 003 b

Objection Ruapehu District Council

Objects to the inclusion of parts of the Ruapehu District in the proposed Taranaki-King Country electorate. The District has a unique community of interest and should not be divided.

Suggested solution Place all of the Ruapehu District in the Rangitikei electorate.

N32 004 b

Objection J Ritchie

Objects to the inclusion of Raglan in the proposed Taranaki-King Country electorate, as its community of interest lies with Huntly and Ngaruawahia in the Piako electorate.

Suggested solution Retain the existing boundary.

N32 005 b, h

Objection J Lawson

Objects to the geographic size of the proposed Taranaki-King Country electorate. Also objects to the splitting off of Raglan from other areas south of Whaingaroa Harbour with which it shares a community of interest.

Suggested solution Balance population quotas in the electorates from the Waikato to the Rangitikei by moving part of the Taranaki-King Country electorate into the New Plymouth electorate, southern parts of the Taupo electorate into the Taranaki-King Country and Rangitikei electorates, Matamata into the Taupo electorate and the Raglan and Whaingaroa Wards into the Piako electorate.

Or:

Include all of the Whaingaroa Ward in the Taranaki-King Country electorate.

N32 006 b

Objection New Plymouth District Council, Stratford District Council, South Taranaki District Council and Taranaki Regional Council

Similar to N32/001.

The councils object to the boundaries of the proposed Taranaki-King Country electorate as they do not acknowledge the strong identity and shared community of interest of the Taranaki District. There is no shared community of interest between the areas of Waikato included in the electorate and the Taranaki District.

Suggested solution Rather than split the Taranaki District into two electorates, establish a Taranaki electorate with boundaries along the local government boundaries of the South Taranaki, Stratford and New Plymouth districts. The remainder of the proposed electorate could be included in a Taupo-Waitomo electorate.

N32 007 b, h

Objection New Zealand Labour Party

Similar to N32/004.

Suggested solution Place Raglan in the Piako electorate. To compensate, move Mangakino into the Taranaki - King Country electorate from the Taupo electorate.
