1. Decrease the value of the homes I own in Panmure purely because Panmure will be known to be a "South Auckland" suburb, this will impact the values of our home. Home values are more in some suburbs than others, and it's a fact that homes located in the "Auckland Central" region are more expensive than South Auckland region. Therefore I object this reboundary to be done here in Panmure.
2. Panmure has no history or community of interest with the Manukau East electorate.
3. Bad for democracy. Voters in Panmure and Glen Innes will feel disconnected and alienated from the larger Manukau East electoral area and will probably see all future election campaigns centred on South Auckland issues debated by South Auckland-based politicians. This is likely to undermine and discourage participation in democracy in our areas.
4. The boundary change appears entirely arbitrary and follows no logical historic or administrative pattern. Historically, Panmure has always sat within the former Auckland City Council and Mount Wellington Borough Council adminstrative areas. From 1848, Panmure became central to the political administration of this area through such bodies as the Panmure/Mount Wellington Highway Districts, the Borough of Mount Wellington and even the short-lived Tamaki City Council. This proposed change ignores all of that history.
5. The change would separate Panmure politically not only from its own railway station but also a significant part of its community in the Mountain Road area, along with businesses to the west of the railway line and Jellicoe Road.
6. All surrounding electorates - Tamaki, Epsom, Maungakiekie, Mangere, Manurewa, Botany and Pakuranga - are allowed to maintain their identity and sense of cohesion under the changes, but Panmure, along with Glen Innes, Point England, and parts of Mount Wellington and Otahuhu, will be forced to lose theirs.
7. The Tamaki Regeneration process foresees a significant population increase in Panmure, Glen Innes and Point England coming decades. This is likely to force a reversal of this proposal by the Electoral Commission in years to come.

1. Panmure has no history or community of interest with the Manukau East electorate so cannot fathom why our suburbs or interests would be given any voice under that electorate.
2) My address is in Mt Wellington although proposed change means my address for voting would comesunder Manukau East not Maungakiekie. That change would mean I will be separated from others in my geographic area which does not seem right. Mt Wellington and Panmure have a closely linked relationship sharing a Maunga and Mountain and it does not make sense to have the electoral boundary changed to fit in with an area so far removed from Panmure.
3. Bad democratic move. Voters in Panmure, Glen Innes and Mt Wellington ( addresses) will feel disconnected and alienated from the larger Manukau East electoral area and will probably see all future election campaigns centred on South Auckland issues debated by South Auckland-based politicians. This will be hugely disadvantageous to residents in Panmure and some in Mt Wellington addresses. This is likely to undermine and discourage participation in democracy in our areas.

8)With all the things that have been happening in Panmure with the Ameti project the people of Panmure are becoming more and more discouraged with being pushed around and this seems very unfair and unjust.
9)I object to the fact that there has been no advertising re this even objection process even taking place and submissions being due. It appears we have found out about it by chance and it does not seem just or right that it has been so hidden from the public. I do not feel that general public has been notified in any democratic way that this process is even up for submission. I also object to the fact that this is due 4 days before Christmas when as you will well be aware is the busiest time of the year. It is again unjust and unfair that this date has been determined for submissions to be due in

Mrs Pam Shoebridge

It is really a bad idea to split our electorate (Panmure) into a community that we have nothing in common with. We do not want to be part of Otara and Papatoetoe which is so much more diverse than our current boundaries. IHistorically we have never been part of this south Auckland community.
For some reason everyone seems to want to break up Panmure. Panmure is one of the earliest settlements in Auckland and has a great history and strong community. We are proud of our town and do not wish to broken down yet again to be lost in some big electorate in which we lose out identity.

Mr Ryan Dawson

I am opposed to the removal of Panmure from the Maungakiekie electorate and grouping it together with a collection of suburbs further South which have little to no connection geographically or socially.
Further:
1. Panmure has no history or community of interest with the Manukau East electorate.
2. Voters in Panmure and Glen Innes will feel disconnected and alienated from the larger Manukau East electoral area and will probably see all future election campaigns centred on South Auckland issues debated by South Auckland-based politicians. This is likely to undermine and discourage participation in democracy in our areas.
3. The boundary change appears entirely arbitrary and follows no logical historic or administrative pattern. Historically, Panmure has always sat within the former Auckland City Council and Mount Wellington Borough Council administrative areas. From 1848, Panmure became central to the political administration of this area through such bodies as the Panmure/Mount Wellington Highway Districts, the Borough of Mount Wellington and even the short-lived Tamaki City Council. This proposed change ignores all of that history.
4. The change would separate Panmure politically not only from its own railway station but also a significant part of its community in the Mountain Road area, along with businesses to the west of the railway line and Jellicoe Road.
