✨ Electoral Boundary Objections
14 JANUARY 2014 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 3 73
N08-002 b, h
Objection Massey and Birdwood Settlers Association Inc
Objects to the division of the Massey area as there is a strong community of interest centred around Massey, West Harbour, Hobsonville, Ranui, Whenuapai and Herald Island. These areas are mostly covered by one residents and ratepayers group founded in 1925.
Suggested solution: Instead of an Upper Harbour electorate, create a more North Shore based electorate using the old Massey ward boundaries. This would have an effect on proposed Te Atatū, Kelston and Helensville electorates, which would need to be altered and could also be based on old ward boundaries. Greenhithe bridge would be a natural geographical electorate boundary.
N08-003 b
Objection J Hall
Objects to the boundaries of the proposed Upper Harbour electorate as it contains two distinct communities of interest separated by the Waitematā Harbour.
Suggested solution: Redraw the proposed Upper Harbour electorate to create revised boundaries for Helensville and Waitakere. Include the western area of Upper Harbour in a Waitakere electorate using the harbour and riverhead as a guide for the Helensville electorate. Helensville electorate to include eastern areas of the proposed Upper Harbour electorate – keeping the current boundary between East Coast Bays and Helensville intact, except for movement at the south-eastern edge to meet the required population quota.
N08-004 b
Objection J Machen
Objects to the electoral bias of the communities grouped together for the proposed Upper Harbour electorate.
N08-005 b
Objection A Cann
Objects to the proposed Upper Harbour electorate and its size relative to other Auckland electorates.
Suggested solution: Split the proposed Upper Harbour electorate into two separate electorates.
N09
Te Atatū
N09-001 b, h
Objection M Bridges
Objects to the split of the McLaren Park area between two electorates, placing much of it in the Te Atatū electorate when the social services within the community have significant ties to organisations in the Kelston electorate (such as Vision West and Moani Waititi Marae). This area’s community of interest is with Glen Eden.
Suggested solution: Move the boundary from Seymour Road to either Bruce McLaren Road or Forest Hill Road.
N09-002 b, h
Objection Z Vitasovich
Objects to the inclusion of McLaren Park in the Te Atatū electorate when it has links to Sunnyvale and Glen Eden, both of which are now in the Kelston electorate.
Suggested solution: Extend the Kelston electorate further north-west from the Oratia Stream to include the McLaren Park / Henderson South area in Kelston. Use either Henderson Valley industrial area of Henderson Valley Road and Opanuku Stream as the boundary.
Consider changing the electorate name to "West Edenvale" or "Glen Eden-Sunnyvale".
N10
Kelston
N10-001 b, h
Objection L Cooper
Objects to the exclusion of part of Te Atatu South (around Tirimoana School) from the Te Atatū electorate as it divides a community of interest.
Suggested solution: Move the boundary to the Glendene roundabout to keep the Te Atatu community intact.
