Hon Nicky WagnerCounter-Objection
Christchurch East
Relates to objectionsS05-001, S05-002
This objection relates to a boundary change
This objection does not relate to a name change
Hon Nicky WagnerI oppose the division of Mairehau as proposed in objection S05-001. Cutting Mairehau High School and the surrounding streets off from the rest of Mairehau would only divide up another community of interest and not solve the issue of Bromley's current division. The proposed boundaries would actually put all of Bromley into one electorate, whereas objection S05-001 seeks to keep Bromley divided and create a new division in Mairehau.The upper end of Hills Road (between Innes and QEII Drive) and the attached cul-de-sacs, can only be entered from the Hills/Innes Road intersection. It is also unclear whether Lady Isaac Retirement Village would go into Christchurch East in this objection given the main entrance is from east of Dudley Creek. The area is wholly linked to Mairehau, including the location of shops, schools, sports clubs, churches and other community services that service these streets. The current boundaries for Christchurch Central should be maintained. Appendix A - NZ Post Definition of Mairehau Suburb (Google Maps) Appendix B - Area understood to be proposed in S05-001, highlighting only entry from Hills Road and separation of schools around Mairehau. Dudley Creek highlighted by the blue line. Suggested solutionSUGGESTED - Leave proposal as drafted with the boundary of Christchurch East and Port Hills along Linwood Avenue as it is a main arterial road and a natural dividing line. The proposed boundaries would put all of Bromley into one electorate. Current boundaries divide Bromley on suburban streets, with Bromley School and the Bromley Community Centre both already in Christchurch East.Appendix C - Electoral Commission Map showing existing division of Bromley Appendix D - NZ Post Definition of Bromley Suburb (Google Maps) Appendix E - Existing Boundary (highlight Bromley School and Community Centre outside of Port Hills) OPTIONAL - If the Commission accepts communities North and South of Linwood Ave are connected, then they could reinstate an historical electorate boundary line by moving the block enclosed by Linwood Ave, Hargood St, Ferry Rd and Aldwins Rd into Christchurch East to align with Objection S05-002's request to keep the area together. Appendix F - Banks Peninsula Boundary (showing Tilford Street/Ferry Road cut out) 1996 and 1999 elections Appenidx G - Lyttelton Boundary (showing Hargood Street/Ferry Road cut out) 1993 election |

Rt Hon David CarterObjection
Banks Peninsula
This objection relates to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change
Rt Hon David CarterMy submission is not an objection, but to support the proposed new Banks Peninsula electorate. I have lived and farmed at Teddington for 40 years, and never felt any affinity to Selwyn and the Canterbury Plains. My affinity is to the City of Christchurch. My family schools in Christchurch, shops in Christchurch, and it is where our social interactions occur. My rates ($20,000 per annum) are to the Christchurch City Council.Suggested solutionDon't change the newly proposed Banks Peninsula boundaries. |

Banks Peninsula
This objection relates to a boundary change
This objection does not relate to a name change
Mrs Jan WalkerI don't want large areas of rural Selwyn electorate to go back to Banks Peninsula. Selwyn electorate is mainly rural with isolated urban/suburban centres like Lincoln, Prebbleton, Leeston and Rolleston. It would be a shame if Akaroa were joined up again with all the suburban areas of Christchurch City.Suggested solutionI would like to see the boundary between the new Banks Peninsula and old Selwyn electorate follow the road over Gebbies Pass and leave the largest part of the peninsula in Selwyn. The areas of Governors Bay, Allendale and along to Lyttelton would all become part of BP. This could be balanced by the part of Selwyn off Yaldhurst rd, [proposed to stay in Selwyn] going into Wigram electorate. |

This objection does not relate to a name change
Mrs Jan OliverI have been a resident of Geraldine for over 50 years and have never missed voting in a general election. Geraldine is a small rural town but it pushes it's weight in the Timaru district. We are ratepayers to The Timaru District Council, Timaru hospital and specialist care is our main health provider plus Bidwell hospital, we have 3 schools in our small area, kindy and preschool facilities, 3 aged care facilities plus a active lifestyle village, Timaru is our centre of business being just 30min south away. It makes no sense to me that Geraldine is lumped in with Queenstown, Wanaka, Cromwell, Alexandra, Oamaru and Tekapo and Twizel and that our elected representative resides in Oamaru. Earlier this year I wrote to the Commission when the school zoning debate was going on because we bound Rangitata electorate and there was discussion going on about Geraldine High school being outside the proposed zone and being in the Waitaki electorate. Ludicrous situation.Suggested solutionI have earlier in the year supplied maps to the commission as to how the boundary can be changed very easily. It is a very easy boundary to get Geraldine through to Peel Forest and surrounding district into the Rangitata electorate. |

Alister FranceObjection
Waitaki
This objection relates to a boundary change
This objection does not relate to a name change
Alister FranceThe village of Geraldine in Canterbury has now been an orphan to its area of interest for many years now and I ask that the commission consider placing Geraldine into the Ashburton / Timaru electorate. It very easy for the commission to allocate electorates based on numbers without considering the social impacts of people's representation. Geraldine has no interest in Waitaki but it does have a close connection with Timaru and Ashburton. Because Geraldine has been an electorate 'orphan' for several elections now doesn't mean the voters should continue to suffer abysmal representation for a further election.Suggested solutionIt is proposed the Waitaki electorate is moving south to gather a greater population. I am sure Geraldine would be comfortable with moving its boundary to within the Ashburton electorate, allowing the the southern Waitaki electorate to gather more areas of its interest in the south. |

Robyn OliverI believe that Geraldine should not be in the Waitaki Electorate, it should be in the Rangitata electorate, as I pay rates to the Timaru District Council, Ecan & the SCDHB. My lawyer and accountant are both in Ashburton.Timaru and Ashburton are our community of interest. |

Waitaki
This objection relates to a boundary change
This objection does not relate to a name change
Mike ClareTo whom it may concern: I live just out of Geraldine. All our dealings are with either Timaru or Ashburton. While I accept the rationale for population.. determining boundaries. Including this area in with the greater Waitaki is bizarre! Its obvious whoever did this has no concept of the topography/roading etc. Please show some common senseSuggested solutionInclude in Timaru or Ashburton where local interest is dominant |
