✨ Electoral Boundary Objections



1746 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 65 14 JUNE 2007

S15

Clutha - Southland

S15 001 n

Objection B R Costley

Objects to the name ‘Clutha-Southland’ for the proposed electorate, as the geographic area covered incorporates South Otago, West Otago, Fiordland and Southland.

Suggested solution Name the electorate ‘Southland’, as this is the largest and most central of the regions included in the electorate.

S15 002 b

Objection G Bradshaw

Supports the boundary for the proposed Clutha-Southland electorate, particularly the inclusion of Queenstown within the proposed electorate. Would like to see the boundary used by local government.

S15 003 b

Objection L D Turnbull – Mataura Ward Councillor

Objects to the inclusion of Mataura in the proposed Clutha-Southland electorate. Mataura’s community of interest lies with Invercargill.

Suggested solution Run the boundary of the Invercargill electorate north of Mataura.

S15 004 b, h

Objection S K Simpson

Objects to the inclusion of Roxburgh and surrounds in the proposed Clutha-Southland electorate. This area’s community of interest lies with Alexandra and the rest of Otago in the Waitaki electorate. Hills separate it from the rest of the Clutha-Southland electorate.

Suggested solution Move Roxburgh into the Waitaki electorate. To compensate, the Dunedin South boundary could be extended out to the Dunedin City Council boundary to include Middlemarch.

Change the Electoral Act so that the geographic size of electorates is considered as well as population figures.

S15 005 b, h

Objection Invercargill Labour Electorate Committee

Similar to S15/003.

Suggested solution Similar to S15/003.

S15 006 b

Objection Southland District Council

Similar to S15/004.

Queenstown, Arrowtown and Roxburgh share a community of interest with Otago, not Southland.

Suggested solution Retain the current boundary.

Review the criteria for determining boundaries so that community of interest rather than population is the main consideration.

S15 007 b, h

Objection G M Kircher

Objects the inclusion of Roxburgh, Millers Flat, Ettrick and Teviot in the proposed Clutha-Southland. These areas’ community of interest lies with Alexandra.

Suggested solution Include these areas in the Waitaki electorate.
