Electoral District and Nature of Objection
N01 Northland
N01 001 b Objection Far North District CouncilObjects to the boundary of the proposed Northland electorate on the grounds of population growth, geographic size, communication facilities and community of interest. Anticipated growth on the east coast of Northland may vary considerably from the projected population figures given. Also, Northland is a predominantly rural electorate that now includes two urban areas. Given the geographic size and the communication facilities of the electorate, this will make it difficult for any MP to effectively represent the proposed electorate.Suggested solution Retain the existing boundary.
N08 Te Atatu
N08 001 n Objection G R SeymourObjects to the omission of the macron in the name of the proposedTe Atatu electorate.Suggested solution That the electorate name be spelt 'Te Atatu'.
N09 Waitakere
N09 001 b Objection B L Pillay, MP - WaitakereObjects to the inclusion of Muriwai in the proposed Waitakere electorate. Muriwai is isolated by topography and transport facilities from the rest of the electorate and is part of the Rodney District, rather than Waitakere City.Suggested solution Do not include Muriwai in the Waitakere electorate.
N09 002 b Objection Hon Chris Carter, MP - Te AtatuObjects to the inclusion of the northern part of the suburb of Sunnyvale in the proposed Waitakere electorate. This suburb shares a community of interest with Henderson and the Te Atatu electorate.Suggested solution Run the boundary with the Te Atatu electorate along Railside Avenue, View Road, James Laurie Street, and along Great Northern Road to the boundary with Sabulite Road.
N10 New Lynn
N10 001 n Objection B R CostleyObjects to the name 'New Lynn' for the proposed electorate as the New Lynn area is no longer central to the electorate.Suggested solution Name the electorate 'Titirangi'.
N12 Mt Roskill
N12 001 b, h Objection B P DoveObjects the inclusion of parts of Blockhouse Bay in the proposedMt Roskill electorate, specifically Donovan Street, Lewis Street, Shipton Place, Francis Curtis Drive, Eleanor Place and Lynbrooke Avenue. These streets share a strong community of interest and their facilities of communication and transport with the rest of Blockhouse Bay.Suggested solution Place these streets in the New Lynn electorate.
N15 Tamaki
N15 001 n Objection G R SeymourObjects to the omission of the macron in the name of the proposed Tamaki electorate.Suggested solution That the electorate name be spelt 'Tamaki'.
N15 002 n Objection G M PapuniSimilar to N15/001Suggested solution Similar to N15/001
N15 003 b, h Objection New Zealand National Party - Northern RegionObjects to the inclusion of the area bounded by Michaels Avenue in the west and Jellicoe Road in the east, up to the current Maungakiekie -Tamaki electorate boundary, in the proposed Tamaki electorate. This area includes all of the Stanhope Road School catchment area, and is topographically isolated from the rest of the electorate. It shares a community of interest with the Maungakiekie electorate. Suggested solution Retain the current boundary in this area.
N16 Maungakiekie
N16 001 b, h Objection New Zealand National Party - Northern RegionObjects to the inclusion of the area of eastern Otahuhu bounded by Great South Road, Atkinson Road and Princes Street, in the proposed Maungakiekie electorate.Suggested solution Include this area in the Manukau East electorate.
N17 Pakuranga
N17 001 b Objection J S Peters Objects to the inclusion of Panmure and Glen Innes in the proposed Pakuranga electorate.

N17 003 b Objection J E WeldonSimilar to N17/001Suggested solution Retain the current boundary.
N17 004 b Objection G Webster & H RazakSimilar to N17/001Also objects on the grounds of geographical features as the Tamaki Estuary forms a natural boundary. Suggested solution Similar to N17/003.
N17 005 b Objection Pakuranga Community BoardSimilar to N17/004The proposed boundary also disrupts a long established distinct community of interest on the Howick edge of the electorate, and does not allow for future population growth around the Pakuranga Town Centre.Suggested solution Similar to N17/003.
N17 006 b Objection M D PalmerSimilar to N17/004.Objects to the proposed boundary as it does not comply with the statutory criteria for drawing electorates:§ Panmure and Glen Innes have little community of interest with Pakuranga.§ The Tamaki Estuary acts as a natural topographical break between Pakuranga and Panmure/Glen Innes.§ The only communication and transport links across the estuary are two bridges.Suggested solution Redraw the boundaries in line with the Electoral Act criteria. Two mapped options provided.This could be done by removing the area to the west of the Panmure Bridge and substituting an area from the west of the proposed Howick electorate. The Howick electorate could then be expanded eastwards to include the Whitford, Maraetai and Beachlands communities, which have a longstanding association with Howick.Or: Include the areas of St Heliers and St Johns, rather than Panmure and Glen Innes, as they have a stronger shared community of interest with the Pakuranga electorate.
