I agree with the commissons changes

Suggested solution

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

Gaye Cowie

We support the boundary changes recommend for Dunedin South. Most of the Clutha area that is being shifted aligns more with Dunedin than Southland. We recommend that the electorate is named Taieri being the name of the river that runs through the heart of the area.

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

Adam Darton

I support the boundary recommendation for Dunedin South by the Commission. Including the Clutha district with Taieri is culturally fitting and means the Taieri Plains will be serviced by the same Member of Parliament rather than two. Dunedin South provides schools, businesses, medical centres and opportunities for people in Clutha/Taieri region.

Suggested solution

Keep the boundaries as is.

S15-002 Mr Simon Small Objection Boundary, name

Mr Simon Small

Objection

Clutha-Southland
This objection relates to a boundary change
This objection relates to a name change

Mr Simon Small

Queenstown should have its own MP because it has such unique tourism challenges.

Suggested solution

To have the tourism parts of the lakes including Te Anau, Queenstown (Wakatipu) and Wanaka joined up and with a new electorate. While leaving the remainder parts to be part of Clutha-Southland and Waitaki combined.
S15-003 Anthony King Objection Boundary

Anthony King

Objection

Clutha-Southland
This objection relates to a boundary change
This objection does not relate to a name change

Anthony King

The Queenstown lakes district, including Queenstown, Wanaka and Cromwell is an area that has very similar interests, people, and requirements. However currently, Wanaka and Cromwell are split into the Waitaki electorate, whereas Clutha Southland includes a large area of rural Southland. Waitaki is also a largely rural electorate. This means that the MPs are balancing majorly different requirements for their constituents.

Suggested solution

Make an electorate using primarily the Queenstown Lakes District Council area, then include a lot of the Central Otago area. The rural areas of the existing Waitaki and Clutha Southland areas can then either be added to nearby electorates, or an additional electorate that services the largely rural areas from these two electorates can be combined instead of splitting the Queenstown lakes area between two electorates.
S15-004 Mr Geoffrey Thomson Objection Boundary

Mr Geoffrey Thomson

Objection

Clutha-Southland
This objection relates to a boundary change
This objection does not relate to a name change

Mr Geoffrey Thomson

Boundary adjustments appear based solely on population movements, rather than communities if interest.

Suggested solution

The Southern Lakes area (Lake Hawea in the north-east to Lake Manapouri in the south-west to Alexandra in the south-east) is a community of interest based on tourism. A new "Southern Lakes" electorate should be formed to cover these areas, and the remaining Clutha-Southland and Waitaki electorate areas combine to form a separate new "Clutha-Waitaki" electorate, whose community of interest would be rural, resource-based industries. This would allow the "Southern Lakes" MP to focus on major tourist issues, and be the "go-to" voice for these issues in Parliament.
S15-005 Malc Hodge Objection Boundary

Malc Hodge

Objection

Clutha-Southland
This objection relates to a boundary change
This objection does not relate to a name change

Malc Hodge

I live in Alexandra which is currently in the Waitaki Electorate. It is proposed that we become part of the Clutha Southland electorate. Alexandra (if you don't know) is in CENTRAL OTAGO. It is not in Clutha or Southland. Central Otago takes in the two largest towns of Alexandra & Cromwell, which have a common Mayor. While the proposed changes would move Alexandra, Cromwell would remain in the Waitaki electorate. This is just crazy. At the same time Wanaka which is part of the QLDC (Central Otago area) would remain in the Waitaki electorate. Again crazy. What is needed and would make more sense is to have a CENTRAL OTAGO electorate which takes in all of the CODC area and the QLDC area. This whole area (particularly Queenstown & Wanaka and to a slightly lessor extent, Cromwell & Alexandra are growing at an enormous rate as such we deserve and need our own Electorate rather than being lumped into areas with which we have no natural or logical association. I trust common sense will prevail in this matter.

Suggested solution

As noted above.
S15-006 Alexa Forbes Objection Boundary

Objection

Clutha-Southland

Alexa Forbes

Queenstown and Wanaka are combined as in a common Territorial Authority and are part of a common ward of the Otago Regional Council, yet are split at national level. This makes no sense at all and makes it incredibly difficult for its common interests to be represented nationally. Queenstown and Wanaka, combined with Te Anau and Cromwell, are a community of interest (tourism) and should be treated as such. Tourism issues get lost in the agricultural ones as these towns are uncomfortably paired with predominantly rural areas.

Suggested solution

Redraw the boundaries to bring together all of the Queenstown Lakes District, Te Anau and Cromwell as an electorate that has common interests and common issues.
