N20-061 Island Child Charitable Trust Objection Boundary, name

Island Child Charitable Trust

Objection

Manukau East
This objection relates to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Island Child Charitable Trust

Maungakiekie electorate is named after our Maunga. We feel we have no affiliation to Manukau East. We are based in Glen Innes and we feel it will cause trauma amongst our community to be so different to local board boundaries.

Suggested solution

Maintain Maungakiekie from Maybury Street to the Panmure Bridge. Do not rename the area Manukau East.
N20-062 Andrew McVey Objection Name

Andrew McVey

Objection

Manukau East
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Andrew McVey

I live in Point England. Along with Panmure and Glen Innes, Point England is now in Manukau East. The name is very confusing. These suburbs are north of Manukau. Also, these suburbs have never historically been part of Manukau. It appears that Manukau centre is also not part of the electorate.
Please consider renaming this electorate in an inclusive way. Voter participation depends on people understanding what electorate they are in. This name will not help.

Suggested solution

Isthmus East, or Eastern Isthmus. This is geographically correct as most of the new electorate forms the eastern part of the Auckland isthmus, down to the portage of the Tamaki Strait and the Manukau Harbour.
N20-063 David Hoggard Objection Name

David Hoggard

Objection

Manukau East
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

David Hoggard

The Manukau East name is inappropriate as a large part of the electorate is not in Manukau. The boundary changes are substantial enough to justify changing the name.

Suggested solution

Rename the seat as Ōtāhuhu. Not only will this make the name fully Te Reo Māori as opposed to only partly, it also reflects the fact that Ōtāhuhu is now the central focal point of the electorate. Additionally, the name has been used historically for an electorate covering a similar area, most recently in the 1970s and 80s.
N20-064 Patrick Downey Objection Name

Patrick Downey

Objection

Manukau East
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Patrick Downey

Manukau East does not accurately define the significant area of East Auckland to be added to the proposed boundary. Also, geographically the proposed elongated boundary from Point England to Papatoetoe is separated by the Waipuna Basin and this creates a natural physical and possibly psychological divide.

Suggested solution

If this area is to be merged, a common landmark such as the Tamaki Estuary, should be considered as a uniting name. Therefore, I propose Ngutuawa/Estuary as a more suitable name rather than the misleading and provocative Manukau East.

This objection relates to a name change

Mrs Tania Batucan

The argument that Panmure doesn't identify with South Auckland suburbs is resolved by changing the proposed Manukau East electorate name to a name that reflects the communities in the new boundary. Mt Wellington Railway Line also forms a natural boundary.

Suggested solution

rename the new Manukau East electorate

This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Mrs Tania Batucan

The argument that Panmure has no history or common interest with Manukau East is resolved changing the proposed Manukau East electorate name to a name that reflects the communities in the new boundary. These could be: "Otahuhu" which is the middle joining suburb between the original Manukau East communities and the proposed new ones; "Portage" which represents the famous Portage Crossing that is in the proposed Manukau East electorate and was historically used by Maori between the two harbours; or "Tauoma" which is the name of the particular Portage Crossing as previously mentioned. Mt Wellington Railway Line also forms a natural boundary.

Suggested solution

rename the new Manukau East electorate

This objection does not relate to a name change

Mrs Tania Batucan

Labour's map separates Mt Wellington and worse, it's according to random mesh-blocks rather than communities of interest. Their map cuts along Penrose Road and creates an awkward boundary in and out of side streets off Penrose Road. Several streets, including Penrose Road, Panorama, Mt Wellington Highway and Barrack Road are split and will be in two different electorates. That will include myself and my family. At the top of my street I will be in Manukau East (we have absolutely no connection with Manukau East) and the bottom of my street will be in Maungakiekie. The better solution is separating the proposed Maungakiekie and Manukau East electorates along the Mt Wellington rail line as originally proposed. Labour's proposal also splits Mt Wellington from its maunga. As a longtime Mt Wellington resident, I know our community has not historically been separated from our maunga, unlike Panmure and Point England.

Suggested solution

Keep the boundary line as the Mt Wellington Railway line, which acts as a natural boundary.

Ms Bevan Chuang

Labour's suggested boundary splits Mt Wellington. Their map cuts along Penrose Road and moves in and out of side streets, cutting multiple streets in half according to random mesh-blocks, it is confusing for residents. The more straight-forward solution is separating the proposed Maungakiekie and Manukau East electorates along the rail line as per the Commission’s draft. This line acts as a natural boundary.

Suggested solution

Keep the boundary line as the Mt Wellington Railway line, which acts as a natural boundary.

There are several examples where a community’s main train station is in a different electorate to the one they reside in. One example is the Otahuhu Train Station, which is in the current Mangere electorate (Otahuhu is currently split between Maungakiekie and Manukau East). Mt Wellington Railway line also forms a natural boundary between the proposed Manukau East and Maungakiekie electorates.
