N42-001 Liam McLeavey Objection Name

Liam McLeavey


Objection

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

Liam McLeavey

I believe that the Otaki electorate should be renamed the Horowhenua-Kapiti Electorate.
In terms of communities, Otaki is a small town in the middle of the Otaki Electorate. When people think of Otaki Electorate, they immediately just think of the town Otaki, not all of the other communities the Electorate represents like Paraparaumu, Waikane, Levin and Foxton.
Residents of all of the communities would feel that the name Horowhenua-Kapiti would better reflect our communities, but also the great partnership between our communities that does actually occur. There is already successful precedence for the use of the word Horowhenua-Kapiti, for example, Horowhenua-Kapiti Rugby Union and the Horowhenua-Kapiti Business Awards.
Thank you for taking the time to read and consider my objection.
N42-002 Mrs Wendy Shipman Objection Boundary

Objection

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

Mrs Wendy Shipman

I live in Menin Road, Raumati Beach. Raumati Beach is divided into two electorates Porirua and Otaki. I find it ludacris and isolating for our community that general election boundaries divide our community when decision making for our area is primarily governed by the Otaki electorate.

Suggested solution

Include the Southern part of Raumati up to the boundary of Queen Elizabeth in the Otaki Electorate. It is a natural physical boundary that would benefit the greater Kapiti Coast area which is a long coastal strip of land.

N42-001
This objection does not relate to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Lynette Ellison

Otaki - is not representative of the area. A small town in the middle of Raumati South - Foxton a two hour drive.

Suggested solution

I would like to propose the electorate be named Horowhenua-Kapiti
N43-001 Mrs Rosemary Young Objection Boundary

Mrs Rosemary Young


Objection

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

Mrs Rosemary Young

Waiarapa Electorate covers an area of 3 Regional Councils. Wellington in the South, Horizons in part of the middle and Hawkes Bay in the North.
How can an area so large have "Communities of mutual interest" ?
The Waiarapa M.P. is based approx 2 hours away in Masterton, and the Tukituki M.P. is based 45 Mins away in Hastings, from the 2 main towns of Central Hawkes Bay.

Suggested solution

The part of the electorate that is in Hawkes Bay Regional Council be returned to the Tukituki electorate.
Currently, Central Hawkes Bay District (own council) is split into 2 electorates, which is not satisfactory.
This change may be within the 5% threshold.

N43-601 Kieran McAnulty MP and Mayor Alex Walker Counter-Objection Boundary, name

Kieran McAnulty MP and Mayor Alex Walker


Counter-Objection

Wairarapa

Relates to objections

N43-001, N43-002
This objection relates to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Kieran McAnulty MP and Mayor Alex Walker

Please find attached a letter jointly signed by Kieran McAnulty, Labour List MP based in Wairarapa, and Alex Walker, Mayor, Central Hawke’s Bay Council.
The attached letter makes the case for the Wairarapa electorate to be re-named to include reference to Central Hawke’s Bay.
The submissions N43-1 and N43-2 express contradictory positions over the question of the inclusion of Central Hawke’s Bay in the Wairarapa electorate with one arguing for continued inclusion (N43-2) and the other suggesting merger with Tukituki (N43-1). This difference of opinion is likely more widely spread as it reflects the fundamental question as to why Central Hawkes Bay is within the boundaries of the electorate but not embraced within its official name. These concerns may well be met and resolved if the submission of Mr McAnulty and Ms Walker on changing the name were to be adopted.

N46-001 Mike Fryer Objection Boundary

Mike Fryer


Objection

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

Mike Fryer

I recommend that Wadestown be moved back to Wellington Central, as it retains a stronger community of interest with that area. This should be manageable by adjusting the boundary between Ohariu and Mana.
N46-002 Mr Dominic Tay Objection Boundary

Mr Dominic Tay


Objection

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

Mr Dominic Tay

The north Wellington suburbs of Linden, Lindenvale and Greenacres are closely connected with the suburb of Tawa, and all part of the Tawa Community Board area. This is a distinct community within Wellington City and has its own community board (one of only two in the Wellington City Council area). However, Linden, Lindenvale and Greenacres are in the Mana electorate while Tawa and the remainder of northern Wellington are in Ōhāriu.
Although this boundary has existed continuously since at least 2007, uniting the Tawa Community into a single electorate would align with the 'communities of interest' principle.

Suggested solution

Ōhāriu as proposed is slightly below quota and Mana as proposed is slightly above quota. I recommend aligning the boundary between Ōhāriu and Mana with the boundary between the Wellington City Council and Porirua City Council areas - transferring Linden, Lindenvale and Greenacres into Ōhāriu.

Zoe Carew


Objection

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

Zoe Carew

Hutt South is an artificial name. I've never heard it used except for the electorate.

Suggested solution

I think we should use the common, beautiful name: Te Awakairangi.
