Schedule of Amended Summaries
Electoral District and Nature of Objection
N04
N04-035 b, n Helensville
Objection P Legel
Objects to the name of the electorate. The name ‘Waitakere’ has historic
association with west Auckland. The boundaries should better reflect the
connections between the area’s rural and urban communities.
Suggested solution: Name the electorate ‘Waitakere’. Alternatively, name it ‘West
Auckland’.
N13 Mt Roskill
N13-002 b Objection M N Neutze and 208 others
Form submission from residents objecting to their addresses being taken out of the
Epsom electorate and dividing a traditional Epsom community. Their community
and connections are with Epsom and not Mt Roskill. They wish to be represented by
the MP for Epsom.
Suggested solution: Keep the existing Landscape Road and Selwyn Road
boundary.
Some of the objectors suggest other boundary changes between Epsom and
Tāmaki and to a smaller extent with Maungakiekie and possibly Mt Albert will
balance electoral populations with less community disruption.
N13-002A b, h Objection I Ham
Similar to N13-002
Suggested solution: Landscape Road and Selwyn Road should remain the
boundary between Mt Roskill and Epsom. The electoral quota needs to increase or
there should be some other change to address the impact of increased population
on boundary changes.
N13-002B b Objection M Laurenson
Similar to N13-002
Suggested solution: Keep Landscape Road and Selwyn Road as the boundary with
Epsom. Move the eastern boundary of Epsom westward to Orakei Road. Extend
Mt Roskill eastward to include Onehunga mall area and extend Maungakiekie
northwards into Tāmaki along Pt England Road, Merton Road and Ngahue Drive to
achieve the necessary quota for each electorate.
