✨ Electoral Boundary Objections




68 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 3 14 JANUARY 2014

Summary of Objections Schedule

Explanatory notes

For consistency and to avoid the need to include the same objection in more than one electorate, summarised boundary objections are listed only under the proposed electorate where the area specified in the objection is located. For example, where a person objects to an area being included in a proposed electorate, rather than remaining within the boundary of an existing neighbouring electorate, the objection has been assigned to the proposed electorate.

It is recommended that people interested in a particular electorate should also look at objections relating to neighbouring electorates as these could affect the electorate they are concerned with.

Abbreviations used:

  • b relates to an objection to a boundary
  • n relates to an objection to a name
  • h objector has requested a hearing

Electoral District and Nature of Objection

N01 Northland
N01-001 b
Objection J Hall

Objects to the omission of the Kermadec Islands from all proposed electorates. As part of New Zealand they should have representation.

Suggested solution: Include the Kermadec Islands in the Northland electorate.


N03 Rodney
N03-001 b, h
Objection R Craig and 72 others

Petition objecting to the area serviced by Haigh Access Road and East Coast Road being within the Rodney electorate when it has links with Albany and East Coast Bays. This area is within the East Coast Bays area for local body elections.

Suggested solution: Move the meshblock that covers Haigh Access Road and East Coast Road into the East Coast Bays electorate.


N04 Helensville
N04-001 b
Objection J Reidy

Objects to the vast size of the proposed Helensville electorate. The inclusion of Woodlands Park, Laingholm, Parau and Huia would see these areas isolated from contact with their MP. These communities have strong links to other New Lynn suburbs.

Suggested solution: Keep the area to the west of New Lynn within the New Lynn electorate. Extra population for Helensville should be taken from north of Helensville. New Lynn could lose some of New Windsor to Mt Roskill, which in turn could lose population to Mt Albert.

N04-002 b
Objection M Fitter

Objects to the inclusion of Whatipu, Huia, Cornwallis, Parau and Laingholm in the Helensville electorate because they are all connected by Huia Road and it is a significant distance from Helensville town.

Suggested solution: Keep these areas in the New Lynn electorate.

N04-003 b
Objection R Clayton

Similar to N04-002

Suggested solution: Similar to N04-002
