Mr Kit Parkinson

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. I own three properties in Mt Wellington, but under Labour's proposal they will be in different electorates, even though they are the same suburb. This is absurd. The better solution is separating the proposed Maungakiekie and Manukau East electorates along the Mt Wellington rail line as originally proposed.

Submissions regarding home values decreasing is irrelevant and nonsensical as home values are not based on electorates in which the house resides in, but an array of factors including location near schools, job opportunities, neighbouring prices, home size and usable space, age and condition. Electorates are not mentioned anywhere on the listings/property descriptions on Trademe Property, One Roof or QV.

Due to population growth, there needs to be some cutting of suburbs along the eastern side, therefore the Mt Wellington Railway Line is a better natural boundary than the Tamaki Estuary. The Tamaki Estuary does extend all the way down to Otahuhu and I note parts of Manukau East currently includes the Estuary

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; or Panmure-Otara. Mt Wellington Railway Line also forms a natural boundary.

Mrs Violetta Petersen-Lesatele

Panmure and Mt Wellington have previously been in different electorates, for example in prior to the 2006 boundary review, Panmure was in Tamaki
and Mt Wellington was in Maungakiekie.
Maungarei has never not been in the Maungakiekie electorate, except when it was in the old Panmure electorate when Maungakiekie didn’t exist.
Therefore, it would be extremely out of order to move Maungarei out of Maungakiekie.
As a Mt Wellington resident for over 40+ years and like many other Mt Wellington residents this would create a disconnect and a loss of identify for our community. Mt Wellington is a thriving community and it has enormous potential. Our identity, history and future is connected to our maunga of which Maungakiekie is very much part of.
