S15

008

Objection A Venables

Objects to the name ‘Clutha-Southland’ for the proposed electorate. The name no longer represents the geographic area covered by the electorate.

Suggested solution Name the electorate ‘Otago-Southland’.

S15

009

Objection Eric Roy, MP – Invercargill

Objects to the inclusion of parts of the Fairfax area in the proposed Clutha-Southland electorate.

Suggested solution Shift the boundary with the Invercargill electorate north to include all of Fairfax-Isla Bank Road and the Fairfax township.

S15

010

Objection P Wilson

Similar to S15/003.

Suggested solution Include Mataura and surrounds in the Invercargill electorate. This would also help Invercargill maintain its population quota against projected growth figures.

S15

011

Objection Queenstown Lakes District Council

Supports the boundaries of the proposed Clutha-Southland electorate. Has concerns about the splitting of the Wakatipu area and the Wanaka Ward across two electorates, but considers this unavoidable in the short term, given the projected growth in the district.

Suggested solution That the Wakatipu and Wanaka areas be reunited into one electorate at the next boundary review.

S16

Invercargill

Objection A Reid

Objects to the name ‘Invercargill’ for the proposed electorate. This name focuses on the city to the exclusion of rural areas of the electorate.

Suggested solution Name the electorate ‘Foveaux’.

Objection M C Dodge

Objects to the inclusion of parts of the Catlins community in the proposed Invercargill electorate. The Catlins area shares a distinct rural community of interest and should not be split.

S16

003

Objection P Lewis

Similar to S16/001,

Notes that the name ‘Invercargill’ does not encompass the diversity of communities included in the proposed electorate.
